Trump’s cuts to education funding and student loan programs have led to fewer opportunities for students, particularly working-class and first-generation college students.
Sam Osterhout and Susan J. Demas are joined by American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten to discuss how the Trump administration’s policies are contributing to a growing financial crisis for students and families.
They also discuss the use of AI in classrooms and concerns about it replacing genuine teacher interaction, which plays an important role in developing critical thinking skills.
