Summary

During the pandemic, schools across the country shut down and shifted to remote learning. Now, studies show that the consequences of this have left American students with an education deficit, with difficulties in key areas such as reading and math. Harvard University Professor of Education Thomas Kane joins the Rundown to discuss what factors in remote learning contributed to the negative phenomenon of learning loss and why school districts need to reconsider how they spend their funds to help students recover. Later, Illinois’ Peoria County Regional Superintendent Beth Crider joins to discuss how she’s witnessed students’ learning and development be stunted by the pandemic and what action can be taken now to mitigate the severe learning loss. Today is Ash Wednesday, and for many Christians, it's seen as a day to deepen their relationship with God. However, many studies have shown that the percentage of Americans identifying as Christians has decreased throughout the decades. Thousands of churches nationwide have closed in recent years, and many attribute the pandemic as a reason for this trend. As a former priest, this trend does not scare Jonathan Morris. The theologian and FOX News Contributor joins the Rundown to discuss the factors behind this shift in faith, and why he believes people, not the church, should change with the times to keep up with God. Plus, commentary by Former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Dr. Ben Carson. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
