Listen Later

In Episode 3 of I Demand a Meeting, Jesse and Jared move from observing the challenges boys face in school to discussing practical ways schools can respond. They argue that boys are not broken, but often mismatched with traditional educational models that overlook how boys are wired to learn.

This episode focuses on concrete strategies schools can implement right now, including reintroducing movement and physical activity into the school day, embracing healthy competition, establishing clear structure and boundaries, and increasing male presence on campus.
