Empty Desk Classrooms & New Strikes On Iran
Podcast: Philip TeresiPublished On: Thu May 28 2026
Description: Rising student absenteeism is leaving classrooms with empty desks and it isn’t just a discipline issue. It may signal that many families no longer see enough value in the current education system. The article argues policymakers should treat chronic absenteeism as a warning sign about school performance and student engagement, rather than simply blaming students or parents. The U.S. military carried out new strikes on Iranian targets in what officials described as defensive actions after Iran launched drones and posed threats to ships near the Strait of Hormuz. The strikes targeted assets like missile sites and mine-laying boats, highlighting rising tensions even as ceasefire talks and negotiations between the two countries continue.
