Why Teens Are Checking Out of School — and How to Bring Them Back

Season 2025 Episode 7150 | 18m 12s

In an age of advanced artificial intelligence, climate change and conflict, authors Jenny Anderson and Rebecca Winthrop say we're not teaching children the skills they need, not only to stay engaged, but for the reality of later life. The co-authors join Michel Martin to explain some of the examples, and solutions, laid out in their new book "The Disengaged Teen."
