1:24Now PlayingSchools are spending around $21,000 per student, and now they claim they need even more money to teach phonics, something Americans were doing successfully nearly 200 years ago with a simple McGuffey Reader. The answer is always the same: Give us more money, ask fewer questions, and never demand results. Then, when parents want proof that children can actually read, standardized testing is suddenly called "racist." This is not a funding problem. It is a broken system protecting itself from accountability while generations of children pay the price. PragerU Kids is helping solve America's education problem.
Join PragerU CEO Marissa Streit as she interviews some of the most significant thought leaders and influential figures from around the world.
Real Talk explores the biggest cultural, political, and social issues of our time through candid conversations that challenge assumptions, spark ideas, and bring clarity to complex topics.
