The Tragic Cost of Academic Achievement 

Here is my interview with Pam Roy, a meaningful education advocate and the co-founder of Straight-Up Impact & The Viktor Frankl Institute of America  

Striving for academic excellence & achievement is a common measure of success at many schools across the world  

Grades & test scores have become a default measurement & predictor of one's success later in life

Its purpose is to DISCUSS, DEBATE & DISRUPT #ducation so that we become educated about the unknown & undiscussed ramifications behind today's education model

Here is my interview with Dr. Peter Gray, a pioneer in alternative education  

What is the purpose of education?  

What's exactly what I aim to discuss on this weekly live show, What Is School For
