Episode Synopsis

American students are underachieving in science and math, but more alarmingly, also in reading and writing. How can that be in the most technologically advanced country in the world? The answer from many is to push STEM education down into the elementary grades. But that will have a deleterious effect on foundational skills of reading and writing. Language arts must predominate in elementary education.
