Part One: A spirited discussion with Arnie and Susan about a story about Japan issuing visas for blue collar workers. As an aging country, they have great need for young construction, restaurant, and health care workers, and have chosen to try to recruit workers from other countries.

Part Two: Joe Feldman is the CEO of Crescendo Education Group, an educational consulting group. He joins us to discuss his new book, “Grading for Equity – What it is, Why it matters, and How it can transform schools and classrooms.” One of the shocking things we learned in this very interesting discussion is that teachers aren’t actually taught how to grade.
