Editor’s Note: In December 2017, The Washington Post spotlighted TM Landry. This sparked our interest in obtaining an interview. After we had already recorded and released our episode, The New York Times conducted an investigation questioning the findings of The Post and the school founders’ practices. A listener of the show, and former student of the TM Landry program, contacted us to share and corroborate their story. We were shocked and saddened by the news. We have elected to leave the podcast here for any parties who want to hear the un-edited interview.

 Highlights:

• Personal Finance and investing is taught as early as the third grade.
• There are no standardized tests for Elementary and Middle School aged Students.
• Grades are only given out as A’s or F’s. Anything under 90% is considered an F.
• Administration at TM Landry encourages students to questions teachers and administrators.
• The vast majority of students commute, some as far as 150 miles round trip.
• Students at TM Landry must participate in hundreds of hours of community service.
