Today we chat with Dr. David Labaree, a sociologically oriented historian at the  Stanford Graduate School of Education on some of the major processes and patterns that define the relationship between education and society.

David's books include, “Someone Has to Fail" & "How to Succeed in School Without Really Learning.”

We are joined by fellow educator Dwayne Primeau to discuss how the purposes of school have evolved from building citizens to producing human capital. Along the way, we dig into hopes for the future and ways to bring political decisions about education back to the community.

Enjoy! And please get in touch with us at [email protected] if you want to be part of the conversation.
