The Tara Show

This segment delves into two distinct topics. First, it questions the health and public image of former President Joe Biden, who, despite no longer holding office, is still seen as a major figure in the Democratic party. The conversation touches on the importance of transparency regarding the health of public figures. The second, and more extensive, part of the transcript focuses on the recent SC READY test results in South Carolina. While reading proficiency among students has reached an all-time high, math scores are alarmingly low. The discussion explores the reasons behind this disparity, highlighting the success of the "Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling" (LETRS) program for reading and introducing the new "Palmetto Math Project," which aims to replicate that success in mathematics education. The segment emphasizes the critical role of math in future job opportunities and the modern economy, calling for urgent action to address the "pipeline problem" of students falling behind.
