The anecdote is criticized as extremely elitist, especially after Ripa revealed the "lesson" her son learned was being recognized as a celebrity's child in a diner, which resulted in a free meal.

The hosts argue that early identification of "failing" students through Common Core leads to a "fast track to prison" and a return to 19th-century-style slave labor.

He claims he expects them to learn a "superset" of the standards, a term the hosts find elitist and confusing. This discrepancy is presented as a major point of hypocrisy in the national education debate.

A teacher from New York City reports that charter schools often exclude students with behavioral problems or language barriers, effectively privatizing the system while leaving the most vulnerable students behind.
