Our Generation

Somewhere along the way, students lost an excitement for curiosity and education became a measure simply for grades and "success".

We sat down with one of our former teachers to talk about how schools are becoming systems of generalization — and how we can rebuild a learning environment that values individuality, curiosity, and depth. It’s a real, honest conversation from both sides of the classroom — teacher and student — about what education should look like for our generation.

We hope you enjoy!!
