We are discussing the deficit in our children’s education about civics, government, and basic politics. As parents and educators, we have a huge responsibility to do better, and today’s guest is taking on the challenge. Join us to learn more! Lindsey Cormack is a professor of political science at Stevens Institute of Technology, a little-known but premier engineering school in Hoboken, NJ. Seeing extremely bright students every day who don’t understand the basics of our government prompted her to write How to Raise a Citizen (And Why It's Up to You to Do It) . The guidebook is geared toward parents to help them produce good citizens who are active and knowledgeable participants in our government and politics. Show Highlights: Lindsey’s extensive research and writing process Identifying the deficit and what can be done about it Our educational plan in civics and government is NOT working. The “We don’t talk about politics” attitude is not helping our children. Two ends of the spectrum about politics in the US It’s not fair (or true) to say that all politics are bad. Kids need to see specific behaviors modeled, like collaboration through difference, information-seeking techniques, normalizing disagreement, and how to consider another perspective. The beauty of American democracy is based on collaboration and compromise, and our kids need to learn this. “Raise an athlete—not a fan.” Parents should be the agents of change.
