Understanding the public schools with Jake Monalbano The conversation between E. A. Maynard and Jake delves into the challenges facing public education today, particularly the increasing burden placed on teachers due to societal shifts and bureaucratic hurdles. They discuss the impact of modern technology and changing family dynamics on students, highlighting concerns about declining values and manners. Despite the dedication of many teachers, including Jake and his wife, to providing quality education, there’s a growing exodus from the profession due to frustrations with policy decisions and the influx of inexperienced educators. Maynard reflects on his decision to homeschool his children, driven by a desire to provide a more tailored educational experience amid these challenges. Both speakers emphasize the importance of instilling values in children and recognize the need for broader societal changes to support families and improve education outcomes.

Science confirms what common sense suggests: children's experiences in their first five years can profoundly shape their chances later in life. Throughout the election and the upcoming Congress/administration, our leaders will have the chance to invest in this understanding and uplift early learning by focusing on performance and results. This includes building a strong early educator workforce, promoting innovative early childhood investments in research, data, and systems to determine the most effective ways to meet our childrens’ needs, and more.
