Episode notes

The chapter delves into the evolution and flaws of the current educational system, calling for a reevaluation of its purpose and advocating for a shift away from standardized testing and overwhelming benchmarks. It also reflects on the impact of the pandemic, exposing deeper issues within the education sector beyond traditional teaching roles.

“When you think of your own school days, what do you think of? What do the days at school of your own children look like? Certainly, very different from what school was ever intended or imagined to be. The root word of school—scholé—in Greek refers to the idea of leisure. It’s supposed to be a place of reflection.”

Ryan discusses how we’ve distorted the nature of children's education throughout the years, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.
