Stephanie and Zac look more closely and provide context for three top education news stories from the last week. First, the U.S. Department of Education proposed a new priority for getting back to basics on math. And it looks, normal? Just kidding. Next, what is happening with the federal student loan program and who are we about to exclude. Finally, we care about student mental health supports...sort of. It's an episode with a lot of ellipses.

Stephanie and Zac take a closer look three top education stories from the last week.

1. High-dosage tutoring doesn't pay off for districts after the pandemic. But it's a case of apples and oranges.

2. EdWeek talks to a teacher who has students put their computers away, and we've got questions about the rest of the story.

3. Fordham says teachers don't like equitable grading practices, and we wonder if they might be bringing bias to a pedagogy fight.

Plus, we look at a review of big ideas from learning sciences important for pre-service teachers.
