Dumbing Down America

Dr. Phil · Season 21

Sadly, interest in becoming a teacher or remaining a teacher is reportedly the worst in our nation’s history. Dr. Phil tackles the teacher shortage, the “Great Resignation” of teachers, low student standards, teacher frustrations, and new laws in states like Arizona that put teachers with non-traditional backgrounds in classrooms. Other states are pushing universities to expedite teacher certifications, and some districts are hiring student teachers who are still enrolled in college to be full-time first-year teachers. Dr. Phil and his panel of guests also discuss possible solutions to the country’s falling student performance in math, science and reading according to OECD’s PISA 2018 international world ranking of developed nations.
