The Modern Dads Podcast

In this episode, renowned education critic Alfie Kohn urges parents to question the prevailing assumptions driving U.S. education policy including the value of standardized tests, the Common Core Standardsthe meaning of international rankings, and the need to have a common national curriculum. He suggests an action plan to turn back the policies that he believes are wrong for our children. Mr. Kohn also gives us a preview of his upcoming book, "The Myth of the Unspoiled Child" that challenges the idea that overindulgence and overparenting are creating a generation of entitled children.
