How is it that only 13 percent of Americans read "at a proficient adult level"? Matt Bardin, former public school teacher and the founder of Zinc Learning Labs, talks to Bradley about the root cause of our education crisis — the failure to teach children to absorb and analyze what they read — and what we need to do about it.
This episode was taped at P&T Knitwear at 180 Orchard Street — New York City’s only free podcast recording studio.
