82. What's Wrong with the School System?


Listen Later

Have you ever wondered why the school system looks the way it does—and if it’s really serving our kids? In this episode, we dive into the history of conventional education and how it was designed to prioritize obedience over curiosity. We explore the lasting impact this has on children, families, and society, and discuss why it’s time to shift toward education that centers relationships, individuality, and respect for young people as full human beings. Whether you’re a parent, educator, or simply curious about rethinking education, this episode invites you to imagine a more compassionate and empowering way forward.
