28 - The Microschool movement and its discontents (Joe Connor, COO and co-founder of Schoolhouse)
In the wake of COVID, alternative forms of primary and secondary education are emerging.
Schoolhouse, co-founded by Joseph Connor earlier this year, is bringing educational "pods" to the mainstream. Reviled by teachers unions, but seeing massive growth, collaborative, homeschool-like platforms are poised to revolutionize how we educate our children.
In this episode, we discuss:
+What a microschool is and how one is founded
+The two sided marketplace between parents and teachers
+Opposition to the concept from teachers unions
+How Schoolhouse thinks about education equity, given increasingly disparate outcomes in a post-COVID world
