This week, Miss Maddie and El Barto talk about the education system and why the act of No Child Left Behind failed upcoming Generation Z during the primary years along with budget cuts in schools. After that, we talked about the Philadelphia Museum of Art laying off 20% of its staff, at least 100 employees, and ended with a quick discussion about Mercury Retrograde.
