'Math Problem' Is Fueling An Education Emergency

Author: FOX News Radio December 11, 2025 Duration: 29:41
Studies show more students are arriving at college unable to do basic math, forcing even top universities to offer remedial classes. College admissions expert and author Jeff Selingo joins the Rundown to talk about why test scores are falling and what it means for higher education. He explains how pandemic learning loss and grading standards are reshaping who is truly ready for college. Plus, whether a traditional four-year college degree is still valuable, or if alternative paths like company-provided training programs are becoming more viable options. Netflix is set to purchase Warner Bros. for $72 billion after the company moves to separate its studios and HBO Max streaming division from its cable networks. In response, rival studio Paramount has launched a hostile takeover bid of its own. Wall Street Journal entertainment and media reporter Joe Flint joins the Rundown to discuss the differences between the Netflix and Paramount bids for WarnerMedia, the concerns and consequences of a potential streaming monopoly, and how the deal could affect jobs and the creative community in Hollywood. Plus, commentary from Jason Chaffetz, FOX News contributor and the host of the Jason In The House podcast on FOX News Radio. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
