On this week’s very serious Education Gladfly Show podcast, the adults take a backseat as Fordham’s next generation of thinkers—er, kids—grab the mic.
Hosts Nico and Leandro Petrilli lead a no-holds-barred conversation with pint-sized experts on the questions that really matter: Can numbers get tired? What should stuffed animals learn in school? And which animal makes the best teacher?
Then, on a very real Research Minute, Lily Distler dives into a groundbreaking (and definitely peer-reviewed) study on the behavioral effects of screen time vs. ice cream. Spoiler: The results are chaotic, sprinkle-filled, and incredibly important.
