Why the School System is Failing our Youth | Home Education and what to do instead with Matt Beaudreau


Listen Later

What is the purpose of education? This is a question many don’t think to ask and instead trusts the standard system that is set up for our children. Matt Beaudreau breaks down the problems with our current school system, how the model of compulsory schooling came to be what it is today, and what to do instead.

Matt is a provocative thought leader in educational and personal development practices and has an extensive qualification list. He not only has been both a public and private school teacher and administrator, he’s also a keynote speaker, consultant, and coach to organizations around the world with clients who have ranged from from Wells Fargo and Honeywell, to American Eagle and the United States Air Force. He’s a two-time featured TEDx speaker and was named Corporate Trainer of the Year at Stanford University.
