The Traditional Structure of Schooling

In this candid kickoff conversation, Scott Schneider and Brad Weston dive into what’s broken in the traditional model of schooling—from outdated structures to the pressures placed on teachers and students alike. As two retired educators with decades in the classroom, they bring insight, humor, and a healthy dose of honesty. Along the way, they pull back the curtain on their own creative process, exploring what The Tangent Gentlemen Grade the World should become as a podcast. It’s part critique, part brainstorming session, and fully them—thoughtful, meandering, and refreshingly real.
