Episode 7: The Proof Is In The Plodding (23:11 min)

When students are happy and excited, they're probably learning a lot. However, our public schools are characterized by a lot of plodding, by students and administrators both. Plodding is the giveaway that you're doing it wrong.

Episode 6:  Why Teach History? (24.09 min)

History is fun. It's also fundamental. You have to know how the world got where it is. Sadly, most of our students have no sense of time, no sense of what came before what. Students can rarely name a date within 50 years, or point to a geographical location within 500 miles. Because nobody ever required even this small degree of precision.

Episode 5: What's Missing In Education?? (13:30 min)

What's missing is education. The traditional content, the basics, the essential skills, the vital academic center—-all of that is missing. The whole reason for building schools has been undermined and continually tossed aside.

Episode 4: The Crisis In Education: What Caused It?  (18:48 min)

A quick look at the personalities and philosophies that shaped American K-12 education starting more than 100 years ago. These people were mostly Progressives (i.e., Socialists). They had a new vision of why we build schools in the first place. For them, the goal is to create a new kind of child who will then build a new kind of America.

Episode 3: Hey! Teach Those Kids To Read  (17:16 min)

The United States has 50 million functional illiterates, primarily because the public schools insist on using an inferior method known as sight-words. Phonetic languages, such as English, are best learned phonetically. 

Fix the reading crisis and we will have a renaissance. At present, many children advance very slowly, if at all, for a simple reason— they can't read.

Episode 2: How I Became An Education Reformer (21:14 min)

I had no grand visions. Rather, I was fascinated by the unnecessary failure throughout the school system. In sports they talk about unforced errors. K-12 is crawling with unforced errors. Why? 

I want everyone to understand the bogus theories and methods that cause all the failure. My goal is to turn everyone into an education reformer.

Episode 1: Students Don’t Know Anything (18:39 min) 

Look at any stats. Listen to K-12 teachers and college professors. The message is always the same. Our young people don't know much, especially the ordinary kids. We can safely say that our Education Establishment hates facts and scorns the teaching of  knowledge.
