‘We Have to Really Rethink the Purpose of Education’

Hey, it's Tanya Suchensky from New York Times Cooking and I'm in the kitchen making a few of my favorite weeknight recipes. Let's start with Alexa Weibell's creamy spicy tomato beans and greens. This is probably one of the most delicious ways to glow up two cans of beans from your pantry. You need really only one or two fresh ingredients. Our onions are looking good, so now it is time to add our sun-dried tomatoes.

And we're about five minutes away from dinner. New York Times Cooking has you covered with recipes you actually want to make from people you can trust. So come cook with us at nytcooking.com. Here's a statistic I've been thinking about recently. So in 1976, if you ask high school seniors

Have they read some books in the last year for fun? Around 40% of them had read at least six books for fun in the last year. Only about 11% hadn't read a single book for fun. Today, those numbers are basically reversed. About 40% haven't read a single book for fun.
