What if the biggest problem in education isn't technology — it's that we've reduced school to reading scores and graduation rates and stripped away everything that actually makes learning meaningful?
Kaya Henderson took the lowest-performing metropolitan school district in the country and made it the fastest-improving — not by drilling harder, but by bringing back art, music, field trips, and a curriculum built around problem solving. Now she's leading the Aspen Institute's Center for Rising Generations, building a national model for youth leadership. We get into the enrichment double standard between rich and underserved kids, why AI companions are a much bigger deal than most adults realize, and what it would take to make leadership development a predictable part of growing up.
