EP. 15 Are We Educating Thinkers or Workers? Today's Modern School System

In this episode of High Level Hairesy, we sit down with our two teenage kids for a raw and honest conversation about modern education, homeschooling, and whether school is truly preparing kids for real life.We talk about grades, standardized testing, phones, missing life skills, creativity, pressure, and what school actually feels like from the student perspective. We also dig into the history of the American education system, including Rockefeller’s influence and the bigger question of whether modern schooling was designed to create thinkers — or workers.From public school to homeschooling, we explore the pros and cons of both, including structure, freedom, socialization, individuality, and what kids really need to become confident, capable adults.This isn’t about attacking teachers. It’s about questioning the system.Is school helping kids become who they are — or teaching them how to fit inside the machine?Check out our website where you'll find more info for the podcast under the High Level Hairesy tab!
