Vol 21 - 2024 Lookback, 2025 Forecast, and the Boys Don Their Holiday Best
Manage episode 456387765 series 3464606
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.
