Issues in Education – Back to School edition – 9/09/24

Issues in Education” is back, for back to school

This Family Life News Feature gets analysis and commentary on big issues for local schools, families, students and educators. Retired school administrator Dr. Ralph Kerr joins Bob Price for that important practical conversation.

As this program returns from its summer break, here are the topics for this podcast:

  • What are we doing right and what are we doing wrong when it comes to Public Education?
  • Cellphones in School
  • Is Homework necessary any longer?

Dr. Ralph Kerr founded the Teaching and Learning Institute which seeks to motivate people of faith to advocate in their home school district. Resources for potential school board candidates are on their website WhyRun.org, as are Kerr’s commentaries on other educational matters in Pennsylvania and New York.

Issues in Education is one of our Monday news features in the Noon Report and 5 O’Clock Report. You can hear these newscasts on the radio, on our live stream, and from our podcast feeds. All of our features and extended interviews also are posted to www.FamilyLife.org/newspodcasts.
