The Pattern

from Tutoring: The Human Superpower · host gilesleeper

It seems like we're in unprecedented times. And yet, if we stand back and look at the bigger picture, our historical moment is not nearly as unique as we think it is. The USA and much of the western world is stuck in a recurring pattern. And this pattern has everything to do with our shared blindness to the power of sharing education ever more widely within the society. This episode introduces a mini-series of episodes on the recurring nature of this pattern. In it we'll cover some of the other countries we share this pattern with. We're going to look deeply into the educational histories of China, Italy, the Netherlands, the UK, and then we'll return to the USA again.
