On today’s episode, we talk with Jenn Binis, a checker of facts in the noisy space of what’s wrong with our current education system. We dissect the premise that we actually talked about last season on this show - the idea that schools were built on a factory model that is no longer serving not only our kids, but society as a whole. Jenn wants us to look deeper at the actual origins of why we started to educate ALL American kids - spoiler: it wasn’t so they could graduate to an assembly line - it was about educating future voters and cultivating true citizens for the greater good. Not really what we think of now in our currently hyper individualistic culture.
