    • Education

Robin Lake, Director of The Center on Reinventing Public Education, joins Sophia to discuss the state of public education as we move past the Pandemic.

Sophia first met Robin in Nov 2020, when CBS TV “This Morning” show featured eLearn.fyi -- Sophia’s website that helped students keep up with their learning during the Covid-lockdown.  CBS TV contacted Robin as one of the leading experts on online learning.

Robin and Sophia discussed important topics, including:

(03:00) Why our education system failed too many kids.

(05:02) Why learning loss disproportionately impacted kids from minority groups and lower-income families.

(08:13) Mental health struggles were amplified as a result of the lockdown.

(10:33) Steps we can take now to solve the problem of learning loss, especially in minority groups and lower-income families.

(12:32) Long-term efforts to fix learning loss.  Robin talked about the amazing work of “The Oakland Reach,” a community-led organization that’s making a difference.

(15:51) The connection between mental health issues amplified by the Pandemic and the carnage from school mass shootings.

(18:52) Robin introduced a new learning model created during the Pandemic called “Micro-Schools.”
