On The Report Card, we talk a lot about schools, but in this episode we do something a little different and talk about one of the populations schools serve: adolescents.

How are technologies such as social media, AI, and location tracking affecting teenagers? What are gender relations like among high school students? And how do teens today think about family, religion, politics, and America?

On this episode of The Report Card, Nat Malkus discusses these questions and more with Dan Cox.

Daniel A. Cox is the director of the Survey Center on American Life at the American Enterprise Institute. He is also the author of a recent report, A Digital Divide in American Adolescence: Gender, Class, and the New Teenage Experience, and a new book, Generation Uncoupled: America’s New Gender Divide and the Crisis of Human Connection.

This episode was produced by Elli Lucas.
