Nervous Habits host Ricky Rosen is joined by long-time friend and Education Consultant, Adam Rabinowitz.  They have a spirited discussion spanning education, politics, and philosophy, and tackle issues including: --Why even though teachers in America experience the same amount of stress in a given day as an emergency room physician, their pay is still lower than sanitation workers, gas station attendants, and hundreds of other professions... --What kids really should be learning in school instead of the basic core curriculum of English, Social Studies, Math, and Science... --Why America needs more male teachers... --Which of the four major theories about why we sleep is the most strongly supported... --With all the conflicting information out there, how much sleep you really need each and every night... --How electricity and cell phones disturb our bodies' circadian rhythms... --How the Democratic candidates for president should approach the presidential election from a strategy perspective, and finally... --Who the Trump team is most worried about amongst the Democrats in the 2020 election.   Where to Go to Get More Information: 1.
