School isn't for Smart People
from CrumpTalks Hosted by Optimus Crump
In today's episode I discuss what we commonly call "education" and where it comes from, as well as how after working in K-12 Education for nearly a decade, I don't think school is good measure of success or even "good" for our kids. I think schooling as it exists is more about creating an obedient citizen, as opposed to nurturing and developing the genius of our youth. It's my longest episode to date, and I'll likely have more on the topic in the future, but I hope you enjoy it. Below are some links to some resources that I mentioned in the episode Scholar Noam Chomsky "Education is Indoctrination for the Young" Former Educator and Author John Taylor Gatto "The Purpose of Schooling"
