Turning now to test scores.
2
This is a really depressing investigation from the New York Times with a lot of data behind it.
3
I encourage you not only to go read it for yourselves,
4
but there's a tool where all of you can go
5
and look at your individual school district
6
and see what is almost certainly a 10-year decline in the test scores for children for math and reading.
7
So let's go ahead and put this up here on the screen.
8
They say why test scores are in a generational long decline.
9
And in general, what they see is that across America,
10
whether you're rich, whether you're poor,
11
whether you're black, whether you're white,
12
whether you're Hispanic, whether they've done this program,
13
whether they've done that program,
14
students are performing worse than their peers 10 years ago.
15
District level test data, which was released by the Educational Opportunity Project at Stanford,
16
reveals that compared with a decade earlier,
17
reading scores were down last year in 83% of school districts where data was available.
18
Math scores were also down in 70%.
19
The declines have affected rich and poor and cross-racial and geographic divides.
20
The new data provides the first national comparison of school districts through 2025
21
and shows a detailed picture of individual school districts have performed over time.
22
From 2017 to 2019, students lost as much ground in reading as they did during the pandemic.
23
Reading scores continued to fall at a similar rate through 2024.
24
Immediately after the pandemic, there was hope that students would recover quickly.
25
New data shows that scores have inched upward in reading last year and have climbed more steadily in math since 2022,
26
but it's been nowhere near enough to make up for lost ground.
27
So in other words, the decline began in 2017,
28
if you look on this long timescale.
29
However, it got exacerbated, but way worse by COVID,
30
then there's been a modest uptake,
31
but it's still lower than where we are in 2017.
32
And I think that's what,
33
you know, and the funny thing is,
34
is when everybody starts to look at like, oh, what is it?
35
Here's the thing about the education system.
36
And I see a lot of conservatives,
37
like the whole education system is corrupt.
38
You think the education system is corrupt in Utah?
39
Because school district is down in Utah.
40
Okay, math and reading is down in Utah.
41
Education is one of the last bastions of localism that we have here in the United States.
42
If you as a citizen want to have an impact,
43
as we saw during all the CRT debates, you actually can.
44
You actually can have an impact on your school district if you want to.
45
As a parent, that's what property taxes are for, by the way.
46
And one of the reasons you pay them is because you have an investment actually in it.
47
Yes, even if you're childless,
48
boomer, or if your children are no longer in the education system.
49
But the point that you see here,
50
the whole nation, it's one of the most decentralized systems in the world, right?
51
Every school has, by their local school board and the state,
52
there's been all of the,
53
I mean, how many pilot programs have there been, right?
54
Of charter schools and this school and that's magnet schools
55
and New York City does something this way and California does something that way.
56
At the end of the day,
57
the test score has gone down,
58
which means only one thing.
59
It's cultural, almost certainly, and it's technology.
60
I just, I do not see a way out of it.
61
And let me just put my cards up here at the front.
62
Technology alone in the school is not going to save you because as they point out,
63
they've still continued to see declines even in schools where they have had phone bans.
64
Yeah.
65
Because it's not just about the phone.
66
We were talking earlier about Chromebook and you were telling me about how your kids' school,
67
like they issue them all Chromebooks and all the homework has to be done on Chromebook.
68
Yeah.
69
I think that's got to go.
70
Honestly, at this point, I even think the overhead projector has got to come back.
71
No PowerPoints, nothing, paper homework, period.
72
Because, I mean, you read these stories,
73
the Wall Street Journal, Chromebooks,
74
and somehow, you know, there's some whiz kid,
75
as we all used to do with LAN on our computers,
76
this is 20 years ago,
77
you know, to play Halo or whatever.
78
People will always figure it out.
79
Some mother discovers that her son's been watching 7,000 hours of YouTube in two years on his school-issued,
80
7,000 hours of YouTube on his school-issued Chromebook.
81
That's an extreme example, but I'm just giving one of what it is.
82
The fact is, is that the mass distraction in college,
83
because remember this is also being found in college and universities,
84
is we are seeing it now across the entire United States.
85
And that's why, again, a lot of conservatives were like,
86
oh, it's being woke.
87
I'm like, again, like you literally,
88
it's in in Florida too, guys.
89
It's in Utah.
90
It's the whole nation.
91
It's a much more, it's a much bigger problem.
92
Like you can have those individual debates, but I don't know.
93
I see no other evidence.
94
Like it's just technology.
95
And there are, I think if memory serves,
96
I could go back and look at the chart.
97
There were three places that defied the trend.
98
One of them was DC.
99
Yeah.
100
And Mississippi.
101
Mississippi was another, and I think Hawaii was the third,
102
which shows you, to your point,
103
those are very different places ideologically.
104
So this isn't really a liberal versus conservative thing,
105
and we should all be looking at Mississippi and D.C.
106
Also, I hate to say this, but Mississippi and D.C were so shitty that being modestly increased is like,
107
so let's be honest.
108
Look, no disrespect, but it's true.
109
D.C.
110
I don't think Hawaii was great shakes either.
111
Remember the documentary about D.C schools and how awful they were with that eight?
112
What was that woman?
113
Oh, yeah.
114
The Asian lady.
115
Yeah.
116
Yeah.
117
Oh, gosh, I forgot too.
118
She came in, she was a big charter school, whatever.
119
Anyway, I know part of what they did in DC is there's this very,
120
it's very controversial, like the way to teach kids to read,
121
even though there's a very clear science-based analysis that teaching phonics is the way to go and like doing it in a,
122
you know, rather than the sight reading ways that,
123
you know, people used to do, whatever.
124
Anyway, so DC really fully implemented that and that seems to have worked for them well.
125
But to your point about this is obviously a national issue,
126
it's obviously a cultural issue.
127
I don't really know that I would pin it so much on the Chromebooks and the school.
128
I think it's more about culturally.
129
Like people, they don't read books, right?
130
Instead they're on their screens.
131
That's a big shift.
132
You know, another one that people don't talk about is another thing that screen time replaced is board games.
133
Now board games are very good in terms of math skills,
134
like just very basic.
135
I have to roll the dice and I have to add them together
136
and know how many places to move and be able to count that out.
137
Or, you know, dealing with money if you're playing Monopoly and these sorts of things.
138
This is something that one of my children's teachers told me.
139
She was like, you know, older towards retirement.
140
She said one of the big differences she notices is kids coming into kindergarten.
141
They don't have that basic numeracy because they're not playing card games.
142
They're not playing board games.
143
So that's another one.
144
I mean, this is just,
145
you know, the screens take up everything.
146
And so that means that other activities that were more educational
147
and helped to develop brains more effectively are pushed out to the side.
148
And the other thing that this data shows you is that whether you looked at families where they were like,
149
go wild with the screens,
150
or families that considered themselves to be more restrictive,
151
they did a little bit better,
152
but there is a huge increase in screen time for everyone.
153
And this is where I get sort of frustrated with some of the conversations,
154
the debates that unfold online that's like very judgmental about parents and how much screen time their kids are getting.
155
And listen, we have restrictions in my household.
156
I do my best.
157
I know every parent is out there doing their best for their kids to try to figure all this stuff out.
158
But you are up against a multi-trillion dollar industry.
159
You are up against an entire culture.
160
The idea that you are going to be able to just individually bootstrap your way to avoid the complete dominant culture.
161
I mean, it's impossible.
162
It's genuinely impossible.
163
You can, you have to be rich and you have to be fucking crazy.
164
You actually have to be crazy.
165
Yes.
166
And then there's downsides to that because then your kid is weird.
167
They're not in touch with the dominant culture.
168
And there's something to be said for being weird, right?
169
Some of the greatest thinkers and insights and creatives
170
and whatever come out of people who don't grow up in the mainstream culture and so they have a different perspective.
171
But most people are not going to be able to pull that off.
172
The other thing that came out in this data
173
that I thought was really interesting is in In terms of the post-COVID improvements,
174
the two sectors of society that have done the best are the rich,
175
predictable, because they can invest in tutoring and whatever supports they need, blah, blah, blah.
176
And the poor, because there were programs,
177
there was money put in place of like,
178
okay, we know we had this learning loss during COVID,
179
we've got to do something.
180
And it's actually the sort of middle income,
181
just like your average middle income district and family
182
that has seen the least improvement post-COVID
183
because they don't have the resources of the rich to helicopter parent in
184
and do everything possible and potentially with one stay at home parent that can do all the work on the side.
185
And they don't have the extra support from the state
186
and from the government to help get their kids back up to speed.
187
So I thought that was really noteworthy as well.
188
Yeah, and to your point here about the culture,
189
and this is when I say Chromebook,
190
I'm not blaming just the Chromebook.
191
I'm saying that it's about the ethos of doing things on the screen.
192
You know, there's been a ton of evidence about education and retention of information.
193
Typing is not the same as writing.
194
It's just not.
195
And yet, what do we teach?
196
Oh, all homework has to be done on the Chromebook.
197
No, paper needs to come back.
198
And look, it's one of those for retention,
199
patience, lack of instant gratification.
200
It's like a whole ethos around it.
201
So when I say ban the screens and the Chromebooks inside,
202
I'm talking about introducing friction and learning and retention,
203
which at this point only exists in private school,
204
which I'm personally very against.
205
Like I don't, I'm not saying we shouldn't have the option.
206
I'm saying for me personally,
207
I don't believe in private school,
208
like literally in terms of my own family.
209
A, because I think it's like kind of antithetical to like a social project,
210
but you know, more so more what I'm saying is like,
211
what it means is the,
212
the American project of like mixing and actually getting to know like a lot of different people,
213
I think is very important.
214
I support people's right to do so homeschool or private school or whatever,
215
if they want to religious school,
216
if that's your thing, but I'm saying the way that I look at things.
217
And that's why though, I think the government policy around this is so vital and important.
218
Let's go to the D2.
219
This supports your point here about technology.
220
So American children now spend a massive amount of time on internet-enabled devices.
221
And this is the best part.
222
All families, it's all the way up.
223
What you also see though is families who say they are low-tech and prioritize outdoor play,
224
not all that different than the families who say they encourage engagement with technology.
225
There's a gap, but it's not that big.
226
The point is that based on the reports of parents,
227
40,000 children reported by 24,000 parents that adults may have reported children as using multiple devices simultaneously,
228
it shows the weekly combined hours that a child use any internet-enabled device
229
that has steadily climbed up with their age
230
that ultimately culminates in some 19 hours per week that a child is on an internet-enabled device.
231
And I think that points out the even
232
if you're one of the conscientious people that you're really just not that far off from even the people who are like,
233
oh yeah, whatever, you can use an iPad.
234
So when I said you have to be crazy, I really mean it.
235
You have to be nuts.
236
And you can also see this in terms of a broader culture.
237
Go to the next one.
238
This is another fascinating one.
239
You could tell me more about this because your kids are older.
240
American children are not allowed to go many places.
241
The percent of children at each age allowed to walk,
242
bike, or drive given distance without an adult accompanying them according to each parent.
243
So what you see is
244
that there has been a dramatic decrease of the ability for children to not go too many places,
245
cannot leave the house, cannot leave the street,
246
cannot leave the yard, and cannot leave the neighborhood.
247
And that obviously children become more independent as they get older,
248
but the age at which they're allowed to go and to be able to do things is steadily climbed.
249
Some of this is probably,
250
you know, there's all this talk about anxious generation.
251
A lot of this might be,
252
you know, a surveillance, like with technology,
253
just because people literally know like where you're going with what's
254
that app called that all these families are using like life life 360.
255
I think that's what it is.
256
Yeah.
257
It's like a tracker, which I get,
258
you know, but in general,
259
the lack of independence of the street,
260
we were talking about with board games, critical thinking.
261
I just think a lot of these formative experiences have dramatically declined over the last 20 years or so,
262
even just compared to my childhood,
263
which was already pretty embedded in the television culture,
264
which was already dramatically different.
265
There are trade-offs.
266
It's a value neutral phenomenon,
267
but you have to observe it and say,
268
what's the impact here on the education system?
269
Yeah.
270
I think I'm just thinking this through in real time about the increased protection about what you're allowed to do.
271
So I'll just say my nine-year-old,
272
she's certainly allowed onto the house.
273
But if she was going to go,
274
I'm uncomfortable with her just going around the neighborhood,
275
yourself at nine years old.
276
And I'm worried about cars.
277
Yeah, it should be.
278
People don't pay attention.
279
That's what I am fearful of.
280
My 12-year-old is allowed to go around the neighborhood by himself.
281
I want him to tell me before he leaves.
282
But when he's got his phone with him,
283
that's another thing is the nine-year-old doesn't have a phone.
284
The 12-year-old does have a phone,
285
so that's a difference as well.
286
So that's the balance that I struck.
287
When I was 9, 10,
288
I lived in a much larger neighborhood,
289
and I was allowed to go anywhere on my bike at any time.
290
And so I know that it's different.
291
And I'm not sure why there's a different level of comfort for me.
292
And by the way, if my mom was watching my kids,
293
she's putting even more limitations on them than I am,
294
even though she raised me in a much more permissive way.
295
So something about the culture and the mentality has changed.
296
I think part of it is that there is just people have fewer kids.
297
And so there's a lot more invested in these like fewer numbers of kids that people have.
298
And you see that in everything.
299
You see that in the number of activities and the amount of time that people spend.
300
Even as women have entered the workforce in large numbers at this point,
301
women spend more time spending time playing games with teaching their kids than they did in previous generations.
302
So there's just like a lot invested in them.
303
So it makes the stakes really high of like,
304
I don't want anything to happen to them.
305
So I think there also was a shift with like the crime wave panics of the 80s and 90s too.
306
There was a lot of emphasis on local news about this kid getting kidnapped down at the blue.
307
And I think that led to a lot more protective parenting as well.
308
So it's a whole host of reasons why we've had this shift.
309
But I try to push my own comfort zone with my kids doing things that are a little bit risky even,
310
because I think it's important for kids to be able to
311
manage their own risk levels without always having a parent jump
312
and don't do that it's not safe blah blah blah
313
but um there's no doubt
314
that i raise my kids in a more restrictive way than i myself was raised yeah
315
but you're already probably still out of step
316
because most of these helicopter parents around like where i live
317
and others nobody's gonna leave the house probably till like 13
318
14 in terms of yeah i mean granted i live in a rural area right
319
so it's also a little different see this is why where
320
you live matters it really does i will tell you some of the parents
321
that do the best job of this are like New York City because I know New York City parents where,
322
you know, if you're a teenager,
323
you're riding the bus in the subway around the city,
324
you're going to school on your own on public transit from the time you're certainly in high school,
325
even middle school.
326
And I feel like there's a lot more independence baked into that culture.
327
Yeah, that culture than there is in most of American life.
328
Makes sense.
329
Yeah.
330
I remember when you meet like an 18-year-old New York kid,
331
you're like, you're like 30, dude.
332
Yeah, there's so much more,
333
yeah, together and like self-sufficient than your average.
334
Very true.
335
There's a few other elements here.
336
Oh, yeah.
337
We wanted to put this up here.
338
D6, we're always keeping an eye on other countries.
339
What are they doing?
340
This is an interesting one out of Israel.
341
Benjamin Netanyahu has unveiled ...
342
We're speaking of different systems.
343
Their system, they have unveiled a sweeping summer AI initiative where students will be trained in GPT,
344
cloud tech, and more before matriculation exams while also closing wartime gaps.
345
The education minister says over a billion shekels will be invested,
346
with July counted as a full but optional school month.
347
And Bezal Smotrich is framing it as freeing parents to work while delivering real learning, not babysitting.
348
So it's like a national Vision 2040 system where all of Israel's future will be shaped through AI and training in GPT.
349
Not really what I would want to sign my kids up for over the summer.
350
Sounds appropriately dystopian for that country.
351
And then in terms of hours,
352
there was this great bit from Tim Dillon.
353
Let's put this here on the screen.
354
You may have missed it.
355
Melania Trump doing this event at the White House with the queen consort,
356
Camilla, where children are all donning VR headsets for,
357
quote, AI-powered cross-cultural educational program.
358
Friggin' dystopian.
359
Melania has been on this weird,
360
like wanting to put AI in the school systems and like this is her thing this time around.
361
And I, yeah, I don't know.
362
No, thanks.
363
Good on that.
364
Thank you.
365
I'm exiting.
366
That's that.
367
Those are the, if those start showing up in public schools,
368
that's where I'm going to go private.
369
That's why we need the ability.
370
There is a line.
371
If we need to.
372
There is a line.
373
That's my line for sure.
374
Oh, you start to put GPT in a five-year-old's face?
375
No, no, no, no, no. All right.
376
on this vein.
377
We've got a great guest standing by, Zach Exley.
378
Let's get to him.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
