Welcome to Front Page, where we break down Gallup's latest insights on our constantly evolving world. Here are the five insights you shouldn't miss this week: | 1. High Grades for Teachers | | In an era of low public trust and negative views on so many U.S. institutions, teachers are not only changing the world but also getting pretty good marks from their students' parents while doing it. Today, with most American students back in school, a majority of K-12 parents rate the job performance of their children's teachers as "excellent" or "good." Read Article | 2. Leave the Kids Alone | | Despite American parents' appreciation for teachers, national perceptions of the quality of education students receive are not nearly as high and have a notable partisan tilt. Check out the crash in satisfaction with K-12 education among Republicans, perhaps a reaction to the right's recent focus on political discourse about schools teaching gender issues and sex ed. Read Article | 3. Japan's Anemic Workplace | | Few nations are famous for being tough places to work, but Japan fits the bill. The Japanese term karoshi — "death from overwork" — was coined back in the 1970s before smartphone leashes and never-ending email dings became the new normal. Here's how Japanese employee engagement ranks compared to its neighbors today, from Gallup's research with the Wellbeing for Planet Earth Foundation. Read Article | 4. Technically Obsolete? | | With all the benefits, and celebration, of the technological advancements of our age, there's always that darker side to the tech revolution. Will this mean the end of my purpose as a worker? In the U.S., our trend is picking up a notable rise in exactly those fears among workers. While widely deployed AI is relatively new, it's triggering that age-old battle of (wo)man vs. machine. Read Article | 5. Rise of the (Blue) Nones | | One of the defining factors of how religiosity has changed throughout generations in America has been the rise of those choosing not to identify with any religion. But what was once a national trend is turning more into one solely among Democrats. Despite sounding like one, the Blue Nones are not a church baseball team, but rather the growing share of Democrats saying they identify with no religion in particular.
