Summary

In this episode of the Raising Carter podcast, the hosts delve into the debate surrounding the importance of reading versus street smarts. They discuss a controversial statement made by rapper Jules Santana, who suggests that by the ninth grade, kids don't necessarily need to know how to read, advocating instead for financial literacy and business skills. The hosts challenge this notion, emphasizing that while street smarts and common sense are valuable, reading is fundamental for success in life, particularly in understanding contracts, job applications, and educational materials. They argue that reading is essential for personal and professional growth, and that relying solely on audio or visual learning can lead to gaps in knowledge.
