Jul 26, 2023

The child poverty rate in America was 16% as of the 2020 Census. This amounts to 11.6 million children living in poverty in the U.S. Why are so many kids growing up in poverty in the United States? How does the lack of social safety nets disproportionately affect children in America? How can we support children and help them learn, grow, and thrive in an ever-changing world?

This week, Kevin talks to author Anya Kamenetz about how we can support children in poverty in their educational journey.

This is, What I Want to Know.
