Today with natalie to discuss her brandnew book the knowledge gap the hitting cause of the broken Education System and how to fix it. Welcome. Im delighted to be here with you. Tell me about why you wrote this book in your inspiration. I live in dc i was writing about educational Reform Efforts here of which there were many and also somewhat involved in the Education Reform Movement on the board of the Charter School and i became fascinated because i think partly education is so important it is our best hope to address in equity in society to break the cycle of multi generational poverty and what also was interesting to me but there was another story which is what happened when you get to high School Everything falls apart everything approves at the middle school and elementary level to go to the classroom but then in high school its a different picture and the scores were not improving. And i could not understand why although there has been a lot of attention. So what i stumbled upon

Cross what is known as malcolmx park. Four years earlier she was a student at brown. When see saw the November Times cover of her holding a broom and clean house she decided the Nations Capital is where she would start her career. She believed she had the chance to up the level of rigor in urban classrooms and help the kids that were most poorly served in the past by refusing to keep doing things the way were done before. She was placed at a school in Mount Pleasant named after the founder of the u. S. Naval academy. It was a bumpy beginning and six weeks in the first year she was switched from first to third grade to replace a teacher who had a nervous breakdown in front of children. She had two stable years to hone or craft and felt like she was starting to warrant praise she often received. As she turned on to the sidewalk of the only place she ever worked she felt certain this year would be her last. She entered the gym to search for her coteacher and meet the 60 third graders they
Are wrong about what happens in college. Better alternatives, its good to have money in the bank. Your kid decides they dont want to go to college who want to start a business its nice to get the kids money and let them use it to start their business instead of paying for them to binge drink or something.

With the amount of change going on that might tie you up. Entirely possible that if lots of people wanted to do something other than college the law may may change in you will be able to user for Somet
Arts education at all. As a matter of fact people who actually read and think and write are in surprisingly short supply. I have a friend who has a business and she heard a couple of people. Her job was to write catalog and amazon product descriptions. They came out with a distinguished Marketing Program and they could not write a coherent paragraph. She was like having to rewrite them. There is a lot of demand for people who can actually read and think and write. Its significantly unmet demand right now. Its not that there is no role for liberal arts. I think when people do get on their high horse about engineering but think the perception is engineering has remained a rigorous subject. If you go to school in Industrial Engineering or Mechanical Engineering you come out knowing a largely agreed upon body of stuff and its important stuff for when he do it works. I think there is not not the sense anymore that when you get a liberal Arts Education that you do something similar. I think
