Episode 34

What is the purpose of education? Can schooling really meet the unique needs of every learner? What happens when the system that's supposed to educate us all, falls short? This week Dr. Olivia Kessel rolls up her sleeves with guest Dr. Chris Bagley to dissect the challenges of our current cookie-cutter education system. Bagley helps us unmask the stark realities of a system designed to fail a third of its students, sharing with us his professional experiences as an educational psychologist in schools and prisons, and his research into the historical origins of of our modern school system. We explore the lasting damage a rigid system can do, and the paradox that teachers, students, and parents alike face everyday. 

But it's not all gloom; we'll also spotlight transformative work being done by educational innovators. It's about understanding the system, questioning it, and adopting innovative approaches to make it work for everyone. So, join us as we initiate this crucial conversation about overhauling an outdated system and nurturing an educational landscape that truly serves all students. It's time to flip the script on education – are you ready?
