This episode examines how expectations inside public schools change over time and why those shifts matter. The conversation focuses on policy, institutional behavior, and long-term educational outcomes.
Jamie Gass, Director of Pioneer Education at the Pioneer Institute, draws on decades of experience in education policy and public administration to discuss how standards drift, accountability weakens, and systems redefine success instead of confronting failure. The episode explores how these changes shape classroom realities and affect students and families over the long term.
