A discussion about the impact that uncertified teachers can have on a child's learning and education. Last year, nearly 400,000 uncertified teachers were reported to be employed in school districts across the country, largely to combat a teacher shortage. In addition, it has been reported that many states have lowered the standards and requirements teachers once needed to enter the classroom.

Tonight, Dr. Phil will discuss the impact these solutions could have on American students. Dr. Phil will speak with Amber Shields, a former principal and non-profit education leader who claims districts have prioritized filling teaching vacancies over the education of the students, which can result in months of lost learning. Dr. Phil will also speak with Jessenia who says she he was hired as a long-term substitute without even a formal interview, credentials, or prior experience. Jessenia admits, a student truly passionate about a particular subject could probably teach the class better than she could. Plus, Dr. Phil will speak with Aurora who says she was stunned when she received an email from her son's principal that his 6th grade science teacher is uncertified and had been instructing him for months. Aurora says she had no clue that schools were even allowed to hire a teacher that had no certification, and says there is nothing she can do, because her son is required to take the class, and the district is not going to fire the teacher.

The three of them are raising Daniel and Jennifer’s two children and they each have partners outside of their throuple. Why are more people turning towards ethical non-monogamy?

Generation Z, those born between 1997 and 2012, have been branded with a chilling moniker: "Generation Doom." But what's behind this stark label? Tonight, why are our youth, who should be brimming with hope and ambition, drowning in a sea of despair? Many Gen Z’s wake up each day questioning the very point of trying. The life their parents enjoyed - a home, a family, financial stability - seems like a far-flung fairytale, replaced by a grim reality of crushing debt, astronomical housing costs, and a job market as stable as quicksand. Add in the toxic mix of the looming specter of climate change, unyielding political turbulence and unrest, and the relentless negativity pumped through social media feeds, and you've got a perfect storm of despair. But is it all doom and gloom? Or is there a glimmer of hope hidden beneath the surface?
