    In this episode, Seriously No BS hosts Robert Bob Davis and Dr. Elizabeth Taylor take a hard look at the Educational Industrial Complex, examining how the vast financial resources in K-12 education are being utilized—and potentially misused. Bob highlights the staggering $108 billion allocated for California's K-12 schools, raising questions about the ethical and legal implications of educational wealth building, where funds benefit administrators and private companies rather than students. Dr. Taylor discusses the commercialization of education, critiquing how textbook publishers and standardized testing companies profit from a system that perpetuates failure. The conversation also delves into the mental health crisis among students, exacerbated by high-stakes testing and academic pressure. Bob and Dr. Taylor explore the impact of anxiety, depression, and trauma on students’ well-being and academic performance. The episode closes with a discussion on the need for trauma-informed programs and mental health support in schools, emphasizing that addressing these issues should not fall solely on overburdened teachers. The hosts argue for a more comprehensive approach to student mental health, calling for systemic changes in the educational framework.
