Description

We missed our November recording due to me coming down with the crud. It left us a lot of ground to cover in a short period of time. Topics we touch upon include:

  • Elections perspective six weeks later
  • Linda McMahon reactions, including a somewhat surprising lack of acrimony across the political spectrum on her nomination.
  • The biggest story in public education this year - Democrats embrace stasis, while Republicans embrace ESAs and vouchers. Are Dems approaching a "gray divorce" on their education priorities, while Republicans head into a "honeymoon period" on ESAs and vouchers?
  • The biggest story regarding charter schools - Are charter schools in a "sweet spot" or in a "dead zone" headed into 2025?
  • And our biggest reasons for optimism and concern headed into 2025.
