Podcast appearances and mentions of Cornelius N Grove

Steve interviews Dr. Cornelius N. Grove about his most recent book, A Mirror for Americans, which delves into the research as to why students in East Asia invariably outperform American students on international tests.  The discussion explores myths about education in East Asia, such as the misconception about drilling, and delves into educational and cultural differences that make students in East Asia so successful.  This podcast provides a wonderful mirror for American educators by establishing East Asian practices as a point of contrast and thus elucidating tacit assumptions we hold about education, assumptions we might otherwise overlook.

No one can ever deny the power of education. It can change and uplift our lives as it provides us with the knowledge and tools to survive in life. Yet many of us misunderstand the true essence of education and the real reason why learning is important.Education isn't just about the grade you are trying to get every semester or your professor's lectures you're reviewing just to pass your midterms or finals. Rather, it's mainly about learning to find solutions to the problems you can encounter. There are several differences between Asian and Western cultures and one of these is how they view education. In this episode, Dr. Cornelius Grove joins Dr. Trinh to dig deeper into how culture affects our educational system and how American culture differs from Asian culture in terms of priority and passion for education. Are you curious why most Asians prefer western education and why they choose to study at American universities rather than in their country?

Kathryn interviews biographer Steven Gaines, bestselling author of “One of These Things First: A Memoir”. Gaines is known for chronicling some of the 20th century's most notable artists, such as the Beatles and fashion designer Halston. Gaines reflects on his own story as a gay Jewish teen in 1960's Brooklyn and his trajectory to, after a failed suicide attempt, a private room in one of the most exclusive psychiatric hospitals in the world. Kathryn also interviews Cornelius N. Grove EdD, author of “The Drive to Learn: What the East Asian Experience Tells Us About Raising Students Who Excel”. The U.S. is currently ranked #25 in education globally behind countries such as Singapore, China and Japan. Dr. Grove believes that our children's poor learning can't totally be the fault of America's educators – our children are also active participants as to what goes on in schools. He argues that both are part of the problem and both must be part of the solution.
