E4: Are Schools Failing Because of Systems... or Expectations?
Learning Curve – Leadership Shorts
Where the complexities of education become the lessons we learn together
Excerpt from Episode 4
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Episode 4 brings together the threads from Episodes 1, 2, and 3 and asks one of the biggest questions in public education:
Do children struggle because of the systems surrounding them, or because of the expectations adults hold for them?
This episode breaks down why leaders must think beyond either/or. You’ll learn how systems and expectations collide, how both can unintentionally cause harm, and why real improvement requires holding both truths at the same time.
This 7–8 minute leadership short features a Lincoln–Douglas–style moderated debate on one of education’s most persistent questions.
A powerful episode for superintendents, principals, policymakers, board members, and anyone seeking to understand the competing narratives that shape modern education.
