In this week's show, Katy Faust and Josh Wood take a wide-angle look at the future of kids, schools, and families. We start with how AI is reshaping education, not by making kids better at coding, but by forcing schools to double down on soft skills like resilience, teamwork, and emotional intelligence. Then we turn South, where states like Florida and Tennessee are defying national trends in reading and math decline with bold reforms and a back-to-basics approach. We also dig into new Census data showing young adults are struggling to reach classic milestones of adulthood, marriage, kids, and independence, and what that means for society’s future. Finally, we take listener questions about teen drama and tough in-law relationships
