Ep. 020: Modern Education is Not Effective

from The Modern Republic · host Nathaniel Stryker

In this episode, I discuss the critical role education plays in our society and emphasize the importance of helping students make wise choices. I share my thoughts on the traditional summer break and argue for a year-round school calendar to prevent learning loss. I also critique modern curricula, suggesting that they often lower expectations and discourage critical thinking. Instead, I advocate for bringing back classical education methods to better prepare students for the future.Interested in more of my thoughts and opinions?
