Ready To Redo

02. Problems with Standardisation and Compliance in School

Listen Later

Welcome to Ready to Redo - where our goal is to transform the failing education system! I’m Jo Yang, and in episode 2 we’re unpacking the issues of standardisation and compliance in education/school/university. 

We discuss:

  • The history of the system (Prussia, industrial revolution) 
  • Seth Godin’s ‘Linchpin’
  • Standardised tests and grading scales 
  • Asking ‘what’s on the test?’
  • Unhealthy competition 
  • How as adults, we often can’t be hecked to come up with original ideas and look to others for guidance
