035 – S1 E34 – How might we shift education from measuring student performance to fostering an internal locus of control?

homeroom is an international podcast bridging the education gap between the classroom and the living room by starting conversations impacting the next generation. In this episode, I speak with Michiko—a mom, wife, and cultural chameleon—about her education journey spanning multiple countries including Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, South Korea, and the United States. We talk about her earliest memories growing up in a home filled with caring family members, and how her varied schooling experiences influenced her self view. We also discuss how the way her brain works differed from those of her peers, and what changes the mass education model can make to better accommodate for people with like needs.
