    Ep 305 - Learning About Learning with David Steiner
    It’s been 2 decades since President George W Bush had the courage to ask the question, “Is our children learning?” So now, all the years later, we must have the courage to ask the followup: Well, has they? Is our children learned? We’ve got the Executive Director of the Johns Hopkins Institute for Education Policy David Steiner here to help us understand why they is or has not. And speaking of learning, it’s time to explore Lithuania, on Toni and Bonnie’s Oral Report.
