Public Schools Lowering Standards for Students: What’s at Risk? With Dr. Kathy Koch

My dear friend Kathy Koch is joining me on the show today. Over the years, Kathy and I have talked about a lot of things on the show and today we’re going to take on a topic we’ve never taken on before. We’re going to talk about the ever-changing standards in education and how you can be a part of making sure that our children receive a good education. Listen in, you wont want to miss this one!
