Education on the Rocks

Since the start of the pandemic, kids have been studying home and we are afraid that they are falling behind. But is it like that? Let’s talk about rigor. It’s not just a myth. It does exist. Our kids aren’t given a free pass and they do learn outside the classroom. Are the skills they learn now, more useful than the material we teach in class? Let’s talk about it!

We have developed our own school system and it works for us. But I don’t see us very often comparing ourselves to other nations and their school systems. They say: what works for them, might not work for you. So with this in mind, let’s see some of the school modules and systems that have been built in other countries.
What do we need to do to improve and what are we missing? What are we teaching our kids and how everything works during the crisis? Are we coming out of it stronger? What’s the Golden Hour for education? Let’s get some answers!

Online learning courses have been put to place but people are still concerned. For decades, teachers have been working toward closing the cap on equity, but now it feels like the progress is moving backward.
How will everyone continue when the restrictions will be lifted? How does pandemic affect highschool graduates and enrolling in colleges? Transitions are frightening but they will teach us how to cooperate and not taking things and experiences for granted. Welcome back for another awesome episode of Education on the Rocks!

The goal of a school has always been to educate our children and guide them. Now, when the pandemic is spreading all across the world, schools are asked and expected to provide more than just education to it's community. Health, food, equipment – thousands of kids need these essentials every day and without saying no, or doubting, schools and teachers become the saving grace.

For years, the American public and politicians have decried the state of education in the United States. Endless reform efforts and enhanced accountability measures have stressed our public education system to the breaking point. Each week, over a glass of whiskey, our hosts tackle the education topics of the day and discuss issues that have long plagued education. This is Education on the Rocks.
