About this listen

**THIS IS A REPRISE OF EPISODE #6 ON 5.18.22**

Professor of Jewish Studies Ilana Horwitz's recent book God, Grades, and Graduation looks at whether students do better in school when they believe in God and belong to a community of faith. Leah explores with this sociologist such factors as parental influence, compliance with school rules, and socioeconomic inequality. "Leah's Quadrant" is revealed, both women discuss atheist kids, and Dr. Horwitz tells us how religious kids fare in college admissions and qualities like empathy, happiness and self-restraint.
