A Crisis in Education from Funding to Expectations with Mike Beranek
Tuesday Feb 07, 2023
Tuesday Feb 07, 2023
There is so much going on when it comes to education in Iowa and frankly many other states. From inflation costs, to state support of public schools to teacher pay vs. a work/life balance to public money being used to pay for private and often religious schools. In this interview with Mike Beranek the president of the Iowa State Education Association we take a deep dive into those issues and more. Oh, one other thing: the link between a solid public education and business as employer expectations demand better educated workers in a rapidly changing work environment. So much to talk about.
Thanks for listening!

We kick things off with a story about consumers, confidence and facts that do not make sense. Then yet another company making demands of their workers...will it work? For the interview you'll meet Daniel and Christine Defenbaugh the founders of the national non-profit the 10-42 Project that travels the country in support of first responders and their families. But, how the project started is truly stunning. Also, remember that you can hook up with us all day on Twitter @IOB_NewsHour and on Instagram. Here's what we've got for you today:
This story makes no sense:
This company is demanding workers come back;
They may be out of luck in the long run;
Biden, Unions, Congress and a Rail Strike;
Housing prices fell...again;
Drug store chains closing stores and cutting hours;
Some cool food news but you better hurry;

Forced Fun is never...fun it would seem.
For the interview you'll meet Daniel and Christine Defenbaugh from the national non-profit The 10-42 Project and what they do to help first responders cope and heal. And the story about how it came to be is...stunning. To listen and learn click this link.
