In this episode of I Demand a Meeting, Jesse and Jared take a hard look at the academic model many schools still rely on and ask an important question: is it actually serving today’s students? They discuss why teaching to the middle often leaves students behind, how personalized learning is becoming the expectation, and why feedback and coaching matter more than point chasing and grades. If schools want deeper learning and stronger student engagement, it may be time to rethink what academics should look like moving forward.
