    Titles The Great Debate: Reading vs. Street Smarts

    Summary In this episode of the Raising Carter podcast, the hosts delve into the debate surrounding the importance of reading versus street smarts. They discuss a controversial statement made by rapper Jules Santana, who suggests that by the ninth grade, kids don't necessarily need to know how to read, advocating instead for financial literacy and business skills.
