Episode notes

Explore the need for education to focus on practical life skills, wisdom, problem-solving, ethics, and character building, rather than just rote learning, through examining historical perspectives and contemporary memes.

“The fact that there are so many memes about this shows how widespread the problem is. ‘Another day without using the Pythagorean theorem,’ reads one. Another jokes about a kid wanting to learn how to balance their finances who is instead taught ‘Hot Cross Buns’ on the recorder. Another has a totally unprepared adult repeating the one thing they learned in school: ‘Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.’”

Ryan why you need to instill good character into your children, on today’s Daily Dad Podcast.
