Podcasts about education system

The traditional education system is actively destroying your child's potential and turning them into a passive consumer. In episode 893 of the Savage Perspective Podcast, host Robert Sikes and guest Matt Beaudreau expose the dark truth about standard public schooling. They reveal why perfect grades fail to prepare students for real life and how schools favor behavior management over human development. You will discover the best blueprint for raising highly capable, respectful kids through alternative schooling. Matt details the Apogee micro-school framework, which replaces useless standardized testing with real world skills, physical fitness, and true financial literacy. This method completely transforms how children grow, helping them avoid college traps and build a powerful digital portfolio instead.To learn more, visit: https://apogeestrong.com/Schedule a FREE Keto Consult Call: https://www.ketobodybuilding.com/callGet Keto Brick: https://www.ketobrick.com/Subscribe to the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/42cjJssghqD01bdWBxRYEg?si=1XYKmPXmR4eKw2O9gGCEuQChapters0:00 - The Ultimate Guide to Alternative Schooling: Why the System is Failing1:27 - Who is Matt Beaudreau? 20 Years of Education Secrets Revealed2:54 - Why Straight-A Students Fail: The Dangerous "Game" of School4:49 - The Dark History of Public Schools: Is It Designed for Population Control?7:54 - How the Education System is Designed to Create Mindless Consumers9:42 - Breaking Free from the "Cult" of Standardized Education12:43 - What is the Optimal Parenting Strategy?

How do all the education changes affect students and what support might they need? 

This episode was a particular joy for me. I had the honor to talk with Jacob Howland. We start with LSD—talking about it, that is — go back to the steam engine in ancient Greece to return to the 20th century's nuclear bomb and today's artificial intelligence. What is the interplay of the human condition with ever more potent technology? What constitutes progress, education, and how can we deal with the challenges of our time? Jacob Howland served as Provost and Dean of the Intellectual Foundations Program at the University of Austin from 2022 to 2025, and before that, as McFarlin Professor of Philosophy at the University of Tulsa. He is the author of five books on Plato, Kierkegaard, and the Talmud, and over sixty articles on literature, politics, and the academy for general readers. He will be a Distinguished Visiting Professor in the School of Civic Leadership at the University of Texas during the academic year 2026-27. I was intrigued by a conversation Jacob had with Jordan Peterson talking about the CIA gets its hands on LSD. Jacob described the situation as “This is potent stuff, what can we do with it?” Was this a special case or is this our general approach to innovation? Is innovation thus simply reasoning backwards? What is technology? Since when do we speak of technology? “The marshalling or harnessing of significant social resources for the explicit purpose of advancing and applying science.” Mastering and possession of nature, as Descartes put it, is a core aspect of that. During that process, is the focus put too much on the means, while the ends might get lost? “The means justify the end? […] We can do this, therefore we should do it.” Innovation and the mindset of the time — do people even understand what was just invented? Example: the steam engine in antiquity. How does the world appear to people in antiquity, in the Christian tradition, and later in the modern age? Or in other words: when did transforming the world become an objective? Descartes already understands that: “Desire is implicitly infinite.” This shifts the relationship between man and world. In what way specifically? “When we take away the limits of desire, we open up an infinite and unlimited desire for wealth, an unlimited desire for new devices, conveniences and so forth.” Descartes already expresses that if we become the masters of nature, we might be able to find a way to limit the infirmities of old age and to extend life. What was the role of Francis Bacon in The New Atlantis? What role did he play for science? Contemplating the history of technology and science, it appears we are treating new inventions and innovations like children — even those with extraordinary potential. How could we have survived this attitude? “Technology contains its own fatality.” What changed between the nuclear bomb and the advent of artificial intelligence? “We are going to have to trust AI more and more, but we don't actually know if it is trustworthy.” What can we learn from Greek mythology about these complexities of technology? What is Pandora's box? “We exchange one kind of fatality for another.” Technology can be transgressive and totalising. How? “If the idea is to remove all limits, which would be a way of being like God, then, because we are human beings, we will just descend into chaos. […] You can take human beings out of chaos, but you cannot take the chaos out of human beings.” Is it true that interesting things happen at the edge of chaos, as Stuart Kauffman expressed it? “When you just have order without the vitality that comes from transgression, you have decay, you have fossilised formalism.” Henry Adams stated, about 100 years ago: Can the speed of change become too fast for human societies and thus fundamentally destabilising? “We have a hard time holding two opposing thoughts in our mind.” But this seems to be increasingly important — a fundamental human skill, in fact. How is this important to assess progress? What changed in the attitude towards progress, especially with young people? “Moderns and late moderns (us) believe that we can solve problems.” The way we address complex problems was discussed in other episodes. Noteworthy seems a quotation by Thomas Sowell: “There are no solutions, only trade-offs” Can we actually solve a problem in a complex “wicked” environment? How does this help us to understand how technology works? Why is maintenance at the centre of a complex techno-social society? What does that mean specifically? How does politics work, and why will we never arrive at morally perfect situations? Why is impatience rising and creating unreasonable expectations? Why is humility of huge importance in dealing with complex problems, for instance in science? On the other hand, why is it a bad idea to be afraid of your own shadow? “I am more concerned by what the bomb is doing already to young people,” C. S. Lewis. So, how do we go along, surrounded by radical uncertainty? What does this mean for science? “Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts,” Richard Feynman. “You are dealing with a real scientist when that scientist says: here is what we don't know.” In contrast to this, remember Anthony Fauci: “I am Science.” What is the role of generalists versus specialists to resolve or manage some of these issues? What about different perspectives of time? “The emphasis in our lives today is on the present. What is happening right now.” Where is expertise, what is the interplay between specialist knowledge and generalist “connecting tissue”? “I have never let my ignorance interfere with anything I wanted to study.” How is this relevant to living a decent and flourishing human life? But to make it even bolder: Do we have such stagnation in science and society because we have so few generalists? As a closing question: If the mission is to save (American) education, what are we supposed to do, and do we even have a chance still? “Harvard College taught little, and that little, ill. But it left the mind open, supple, and ready to receive knowledge,” Henry Adams. Could we at least get back to this situation again? “How many universities can we say that about? We have not succeeded in that. […] At the end of the day, we are suffering from a crisis of meaning. Any way we give people more meaning is significant.” How can we do that? In company with other people, ideally. There is hope, as Jacob states at the end of the conversation. We are at the start of a reconstruction, as Douglas Murray put it: “We should be the reconstructionists. The deconstructionists knew something about how to take things apart but, like children with bicycles, had no idea how to put them back together. […] We have the choice either to live in the wastelands or to rebuild them.” Other Episodes Episode 148: Künstliche Vernunft?

INTRO: In an effort to align skills development and the evolving job market South Africa has started the process of phasing out outdated qualifications introduced at colleges before 2009. This will affect more than 1,100 qualifications. The process is led by the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA), the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) and the Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO). For more Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Dr. Makhapa Makhafola, Chief Operating Officer for South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA)

The Education Minister says the new secondary school qualifications are achievable and aspirational. Yesterday, Erica Stanford announced senior students will need to pass three out of five subjects to achieve the new certificates. The new system will be phased in from 2028 and reward students with endorsements for passing all five subjects. Stanford explained that the first tranche of the curriculum has been sent out for consultation. "They're going to be dropping it in three tranches, just to not overwhelm the sector. I've got a group of principals who are keeping an eye on it - the curriculum advisory group." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Don't forget to subscribe for free to our newsletter, the top 10 ideas of the week, every Monday --------- Joe Liemandt quietly built one of the most successful software empires you've never heard of—then reappeared with a $1 billion bet that AI can make kids learn ten times faster and love school more than vacation. At Alpha School, students spend just two hours a day on AI‑driven academics, consistently score in the top 1% on standardized tests, and use the rest of their time to build real‑world life skills: leadership, entrepreneurship, teamwork, and projects they actually care about. There are no lectures, no moving on without mastery, and a very different role for “teachers”—now called guides. Liemandt is the principal of Alpha School and the founder of Trilogy Software and ESW Capital. He dropped out of Stanford to build Trilogy, made the cover of Forbes twice before turning thirty, became the youngest member of the Forbes 400, then vanished from public life for twenty‑five years while quietly becoming one of the most prolific acquirers of software businesses in the world. Now he's using everything he learned about systems, incentives, and scale to rebuild K–12 from first principles around mastery, motivation, and AI. In this conversation, we cover Joe's full arc, from sleeping on the floor at Trilogy and being mentored by Jack Welch to deciding that “kids must love school more than vacation” would be a non‑negotiable design principle for Alpha. He explains how the Timeback platform works under the hood, why he's comfortable streaming student screens to AI in real time, and how he plans to scale this model to a billion kids. You'll learn: why he thinks the traditional classroom was designed for a narrow slice of students and wastes everyone else's time, what changes when kids master a year of material in roughly 20–22 hours, how guides coach motivation instead of delivering lectures, and the simple rules he uses to make high‑stakes decisions about people, product, and strategy. ------ Timestamps: (00:00) What's Broken in Today's Education System (07:01) What Makes Alpha School Different (11:01) Real Results: 2 Hours of AI, Top 1% Scores (16:55) Who Gets In (23:20) The Everyday Classroom Problems Alpha Is Fixing (26:40) Redefining Mastery: No Moving On Until You “Get It” (35:37) Can You Actually Change a System This Big?

In “Kim on a Whim,” Kim St. Onge and Marc dive into the growing burden of student loan debt after a study found that many Gen Z borrowers are delaying major life milestones like buying homes, getting married, or starting families because of overwhelming college costs. The conversation critiques the modern higher education system, with Marc arguing colleges dramatically inflated tuition prices once federally backed student loans became widely available, comparing the crisis to the housing bubble and healthcare inflation. The segment also explores personal responsibility, predatory loan interest rates, parents' role in financial planning, and whether college degrees still justify massive debt loads outside of elite or specialized programs. Marc reflects on how affordable tuition once was during his own college years and contrasts it with today's six-figure debt stories, while both hosts argue that universities have increasingly prioritized profits and ideology over practical value. The discussion blends economic frustration, generational challenges, and skepticism toward government student loan intervention into one of the hour's most relatable conversations.

The Conflation Conversation: C Comeback, Community Survival & Relationship Reality Talk | Born in Trouble Host John X returns to Born in Trouble with Grant Lancaster, They reflect on aging, being “elders,” and why lived, immersive experiences and community history matter more than today's phone-driven culture. The conversation critiques money as the central measure of “success,” compareing systems where needs were met without money, and warns that current politics and economic trends—including AI-driven job loss and rising foreclosures—threaten everyone while eroding community. They discuss race as an American construct tied to slavery, expressing a belief Black people have been the country's moral compass, and debate immigration's impact on community. They react to a viral clip about “scoring” an NFL/NBA boyfriend, emphasizing loyalty, service, and rejecting transactional relationships, then end calling for peace, reduced intra-community violence, and greater support for HBCUs amid Southern redistricting issues. 00:00 Welcome Back Update 01:33 Cancer Recovery Check In 03:23 Jordan LeBron Debate 04:41 Aging And Being Elders 08:36 From Immersion To Online 11:11 Money Over Everything 14:30 Systems And Reactions 16:59 Moral Compass And Politics 23:26 Not Becoming Oppressors 25:58 Conflation Congregation Explained 27:00 Housing AI And Foreclosures 31:58 Community And Immigration 37:30 Foreign Voices and Division 37:59 People Are More Alike 39:28 Switching to Relationship Drama 40:03 Clip Advice on Athletes 43:09 Serving Each Other in Love 45:05 Money Talk and Prostitution 49:58 High Value Men Reality 51:43 Beyond Transactional Love 54:20 Building Wealth Together 01:01:13 Peace Message and Unity 01:04:08 HBCU Push and Gerrymandering 01:06:47 Wrap Up and Personal Banter

Her books include, The History of the World series, The Well-Educated Mind: A Guide to the Classical Education You Never Had, Rethinking School: How to Take Charge of Your Child's Education, and most recently, The Great Shadow: A History of How Sickness Shapes What We Do, Think, Believe, and Buy. Susan and Greg discuss the mismatches between institutional schooling and how kids learn, the historical context in which the U.S. education system was created, and practices for cultivating deeper learning, whether it be in a homeschool environment or reading for enjoyment. They also dive into Susan's latest book, The Great Shadow, and explore how historical experiences of sickness have shaped daily life, persistent health beliefs, and current tensions between vaccines and wellness rhetoric. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.* Episode Quotes: The education system mismatch 04:49: The thing about this system is it actually worked really, really well. It did what it was supposed to do for over a hundred years, which was assimilate immigrant children, teach them how to speak English, teach them how to read, teach them how to write, teach them civic virtues, teach them the Pledge of Allegiance, all of these American things. The problem is that, you know, a hundred, 150 years on, 200 years on, that regimented system simply doesn't suit a good number of the students who are sort of marshaled into it and run through it anymore than every 18-year-old would do well in Army basic training. Some of them would do great, but some of them, it's just not going to fit. And that's the challenge that we now face with our current K-12 system. Books makes us human 25:26: If we lose books, we are going to lose part of what makes us human and what has made us human since the invention of writing. We're going to lose a huge element of our evolution as people if we lose books. We need to create space where reading is just for fun 32:22: So I do see parents wanting to push kids into harder reading too early, without them realizing that if they want kids to enjoy books, then they have got to make a space in the kid's life to read things that are too easy, because that's when we enjoy ourselves—when we're doing something that is not straining every mental muscle that we have. So we do need to create also this space where reading is just for fun. Show Links: Recommended Resources: Montessori education Mortimer J.

What if the most competitive exam in the world is also the most destructive? In this episode of Eye on AI, Craig Smith sits down with Professor Andrew Thangaraj, faculty at the Department of Electrical Engineering at IIT Madras, to explore how one of India's most prestigious institutions is quietly dismantling the system it helped build. Andrew lays out the honest reality of higher education in India. Two and a half crore kids reach college age every year. Only 90 lakh make it to college. And the IITs, the most coveted institutions in the country, take just 17,000. The competition to reach those seats has become so extreme that students are losing their childhoods, their development is stunted, and even those who make it through are often unemployable because the system rewards knowledge over skills. Andrew walks through exactly how IIT Madras is responding. A full, IIT-branded undergraduate degree in data science delivered entirely online for under five lakhs, roughly $5,000. No JEE required. No elite school background needed. Just a 10th standard foundation and the willingness to do the work. The program flips the traditional model, putting hands-on skills and real projects before theory, building in multiple exit points for students who need to start earning before they finish, and scaling to over 40,000 active students through a hybrid of faculty-recorded lectures, full-time instructors, and a remarkably active student community. We also get into the bigger picture. Why India's AI talent gap is as much a culture problem as a numbers problem. Whether India can leapfrog into AI leadership the way China did after rebuilding its research ecosystem. Where AI tools are already being tested inside the program and where they still fall short. And how AI deployed in Indian languages, in agriculture, and in the courts could drive the kind of societal change that no corporate productivity tool ever will.  Subscribe for more conversations with the people shaping the future of AI and emerging technology.   Stay Updated: Craig Smith on X: https://x.com/craigss Eye on A.I. on X: https://x.com/EyeOn_AI     (00:00) Introduction and Andrew Thangaraj's Background (01:29) India's Higher Education Bottleneck (03:45) Designing a $5,000 IIT Degree  (09:27) Why Graduates Still Lack Skills (12:31) When the Program Started and How It Got Approved (13:56) Program Structure, Diplomas and Multiple Exit Points (17:52) Who the Program Reaches and Surprising Student Stories (24:57) Older Students, Working Professionals and International Enrollment (29:55) Can India Leapfrog in AI (34:03) Data Centers, Power and Infrastructure Gaps  (40:57) How Involved Are the IITs in India's AI Mission (46:00) AI for Languages, Farms and Courts

Teachers’ Unions as Political Power Brokers Major teachers’ unions (e.g., NEA, AFT) have contributed over $1 billion to left‑wing political causes over the past decade. This funding overwhelmingly supports Democratic candidates, progressive activism, and ideological causes unrelated to education. Education System as Ideological Indoctrination Unions have shifted from focusing on education (reading, writing, math) to political indoctrination of students. Declining academic performance is linked to this ideological focus rather than educational reform. Coerced Union Participation Teachers are forced to contribute union dues and face professional consequences if they dissent, framing this as coercive or unethical. Link Between Education, Ideology, and Political Violence Left‑leaning control of education has normalized hatred of conservatives, Christians, and Donald Trump. There is a direct causal line between: union political spending, ideological education, polling data suggesting some Democrats justify political violence, and alleged assassination attempts on Donald Trump. Normalization of Political Violence 25% of Democrats believe political violence can be justified. This reflects a broader cultural shift allegedly driven by education and political messaging. Democratic Strategy Framing Democrats deliberately pursued a “long game” by controlling education from elementary school through universities to shape future voters. Education institutions are culture‑shaping tools rather than neutral public services. Call to Parental Action This is a warning to parents for continued and increased involvement in school boards. This activism is a response to loss of trust, lack of accountability, and ideological overreach. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Join the Conversation at 303-477-5600 or text to 307-200-8222 Monday - Friday from 3 pm - 6 pm MT. https://RushToReason.com HOUR 1 John Rush kicks off the week with a powerful mix of practical advice and global perspective—moving seamlessly from protecting your home to understanding the forces shaping the world. Could a simple device save you thousands in water damage before you even know there's a problem? John and Mike Jansen from Plumberooz explore how smart technology like the PHYN leak detection system is quietly changing homeownership. But the conversation doesn't stay at home for long. John shifts to rising tensions with Iran, unpacking high-stakes decisions involving energy markets, military strategy, and global consequences. As oil routes shift and pressure builds, one question looms—how far will things go before a resolution is forced? The hour then pivots into a provocative discussion with Robert Bortins, examining the roots of America's education system. Is it broken… or working exactly as designed? Finally, John closes with a passionate defense of truth and accountability in media, challenging misinformation and calling out divisive narratives. This hour doesn't just inform—it pushes listeners to think deeper about home, country, and culture.

Last week, Ontario introduced new legislation proposing sweeping changes to education in the province – from how school boards are managed, to having attendance make up part of final grades for high school students. This is the latest in a string of changes that serve to centralize oversight over Canada's largest education system. The Globe's education reporter, Dave McGinn, joins the show to talk about why Ontario says it's introducing these changes, and what parents and teachers want to see going forward. Questions? Comments? Ideas? Email us at thedecibel@globeandmail.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

The Ontario Government seems to have interest in overhauling the existing education system. From the idea of a CEO and a CEdO (Chief Education Officer), to tying attendance records to final grades, or capping the amount of trustees at a school board, Minister Paul Calandra has eyes on streamlining and tightening where funds go and who gets to spend them. Families, unions and educators alike however, aren't too keen on the changes, claiming the government is pushing its education ministry into corporatization. Host Caryn Ceolin speaks to Kelly Gallagher-Mackay, an education policy expert at Wilfred Laurier University to discuss the changes, how they're going to affect the day-to-day workings of students and teachers, and what the future of education in Ontario could look like.

Karen Horwitz is a former elementary school teacher and the author of, "A Graver Danger."   Learn more at https://endteacherabuse.org EPISODE SUMMARY BELOW: Education Reform and Whistleblowing Karen and Nate discussed their shared mission of helping people find ownership and purpose. Karen explained her concept of "white chalk crime," which she trademarked in 2002 to describe corruption in the education system, where problem teachers are fired while schools continue receiving government funding. The conversation began to touch on Karen's experience as a whistleblower and her work in education reform. Educational Corruption Experience Sharing Karen shared her experience as a fourth-grade teacher in the northern suburbs of Chicago where she discovered corruption in the mid-1990s. She described how a young principal targeted older teachers and violated laws regarding age discrimination, leading Karen to consult a lawyer about filing an age discrimination case. When the superintendent threatened to make her life miserable if she created trouble, Karen decided to document the issues and speak out, eventually choosing to focus on reporting educational corruption rather than teaching. Education System Corruption Issues Karen discussed her experiences with corruption in the education system, particularly regarding age discrimination and the protection of problematic teachers. She provided an example of a teacher who was placed on unpaid leave after filing an assault charge against a principal, while another teacher who showed naked pictures to students was merely moved to another school. Karen explained that she had threatened to sue the district due to age discrimination practices, and mentioned her discovery of election fraud in her district where officials were re-elected despite not addressing the issues. Principal's Inappropriate Decision Making Karen discussed her experiences with a young principal who made inappropriate decisions, including moving her from 4th grade to 5th grade to teach science, which Karen believed was an attempt to make her quit. Karen explained that the principal had also reassigned an older librarian to a floating substitute position and had treated several teachers poorly. Nate questioned Karen's interpretation of the principal's motives, particularly regarding the science teaching assignment, suggesting that the principal's actions might not have been discriminatory. Teacher Abuse in School Systems Karen discussed her experiences with teacher abuse and described how school districts can be "mafia-like" in their operations. She shared specific examples, including a case of a Florida teacher who was criminally indicted after preventing a potential school shooting, and the Roslyn School District scandal in New York involving financial misconduct by administrators. Karen explained that in her view, school systems often prefer problematic teachers, including potentially pedophile teachers, over those who would challenge authority or report misconduct, as the latter tend to build positive relationships with parents which districts seek to avoid. Public School System Corruption Issues Karen discussed her observations of systemic issues in public school systems across the United States, claiming that over 50% of schools exhibit problematic behavior similar to a "mafia" structure. She shared the specific case of Ed Coben, a teacher who was allegedly framed for a mass shooting at a Miami-Dade public school and later received a small settlement after retiring. Karen explained that many competent teachers are silenced or pushed out of the system, with the remaining teachers either complicit in inappropriate practices or being used as pawns in administrative conflicts. She argued that these issues have created division between homeschooling parents and those still involved in traditional schools, while the actual problem lies with corrupt administrators who prioritize control over education quality. Modern Education Challenges Discussion Karen and Nate discussed the challenges in modern education, particularly regarding how controversial issues like gender identity and furries are used to distract from more serious problems. Karen explained how these distractions prevent teachers from addressing real issues with troubled students, potentially contributing to school shootings. She emphasized the need for more teachers like herself who can connect with and help troubled students, contrasting with younger teachers who focus more on popular culture. The conversation also touched on the complexity of trans issues and how effective democratic schools with supportive teachers could address these challenges. Education Reform and Systemic Issues Karen discussed her experiences and observations in education, asserting that administrators often pressure teachers to be less caring, creating a hostile environment that can lead to the removal of dedicated educators. She attributed much of the problem to systemic issues, including corruption and mismanagement of funds, rather than malicious intent by all administrators. Karen emphasized the need for reform in education to restore democracy and protect students' well-being, highlighting her ongoing efforts through her websites and book, "A Graver Danger." Nate expressed concerns about the complexity and messaging of Karen's arguments, encouraging her to clarify her key grievances for broader impact. Conclusion Nate interviewed Karen Horwitz, author of "A Graver Danger: White Chalk Crime - The Stunning First Ever Explanation for School Shootings and How We End Them," about her 30-year investigation into corruption in public school systems. Karen described her experience as a whistleblower who was fired from her teaching position in 1999 after discovering age discrimination and other wrongdoing by administrators in her district. She claimed that more than 50% of school systems across America operate like "mafia operations" prioritizing money and control over student welfare, often protecting problematic teachers while targeting competent ones who question authority. Karen's research includes numerous examples of financial misconduct, administrative abuse, and systemic issues that she believes are destroying democracy and contributing to broader societal problems. She maintains websites documenting these issues and hopes her book will reach the next U.S. President to help reform the education system.

Today I'm speaking with economist Bryan Caplan about education and bullshit, with a particular focus on his book, The Case Against Education: Why the Education System Is a Waste of Time and Money (Princeton University Press, 2018). In our modern economy, possessing a college degree feels like a necessity for professional advancement. The age of good jobs for college dropouts is largely gone as more people spend more time in the classroom, writing papers, taking tests, and, of course, goofing off. On the one hand, policymakers celebrate the additional degrees attained by more people. Surely a more educated society means a more intelligent and productive one. It's no secret that college grads make more money than dropouts, and high school grads make more than those who didn't complete 12th grade. Why is this the case? Does more education truly endow students with the skills necessary to succeed in the working world, or does education merely serve to certify that an individual has the intelligence and people skills needed to succeed? If the primary value of education is to signal conformity to employers' expectations, then education as we know it is a waste of time, energy, and money. Degrees range in practicality, but most—like economics—hardly spend time teaching the kinds of skills that translate to the jobs most graduates actually take. As Bryan puts it, “As far as I can tell, the only marketable skill I teach is how to be an economics professor.” The world certainly needs some economics professors, but the sentiment behind the point reflects an undeniable dirty little secret. Professors, by and large, teach students about their favorite subjects, not skills for career success. For years, I've trumpeted the line that the purpose of higher education is not to teach skills but rather to teach students how to think. The Case Against Education deflates this argument with statistics and great humor. As the type of student who loved taking Russian literature, political philosophy, and economic history, I'm thrilled to speak with Bryan Caplan about bullshit and education.

For years, I've trumpeted the line that the purpose of higher education is not to teach skills but rather to teach students how to think. The Case Against Education deflates this argument with statistics and great humor.

Today I'm speaking with economist Bryan Caplan about education and bullshit, with a particular focus on his book, The Case Against Education: Why the Education System Is a Waste of Time and Money (Princeton University Press, 2018). In our modern economy, possessing a college degree feels like a necessity for professional advancement. The age of good jobs for college dropouts is largely gone as more people spend more time in the classroom, writing papers, taking tests, and, of course, goofing off. On the one hand, policymakers celebrate the additional degrees attained by more people. Surely a more educated society means a more intelligent and productive one. It's no secret that college grads make more money than dropouts, and high school grads make more than those who didn't complete 12th grade. Why is this the case? Does more education truly endow students with the skills necessary to succeed in the working world, or does education merely serve to certify that an individual has the intelligence and people skills needed to succeed? If the primary value of education is to signal conformity to employers' expectations, then education as we know it is a waste of time, energy, and money. Degrees range in practicality, but most—like economics—hardly spend time teaching the kinds of skills that translate to the jobs most graduates actually take. As Bryan puts it, “As far as I can tell, the only marketable skill I teach is how to be an economics professor.” The world certainly needs some economics professors, but the sentiment behind the point reflects an undeniable dirty little secret.

What if the biggest education question isn't “public vs. private”… but who is shaping your child's worldview?This week on The Homeschool How To Podcast, I'm joined by documentary filmmaker Spencer Taylor, creator of The Death of Recess (streaming on Angel Studios). Spencer shares what sparked the film—when his school eliminated recess—and how that change connected to a bigger story: the erosion of childhood, creativity, and parental authority in modern education.We talk about:Why removing recess impacts behavior, mental health, and learningThe rise of standardized testing (and what it's costing kids)How education funding and influence shape curriculum decisionsWhy school choice and homeschooling are growing fast after COVIDWhat Spencer discovered when he went undercover at an NEA leadership summitHow parents can reclaim their role without fearIf you're homeschooling, considering homeschooling, or trying to get your spouse on board, this episode will challenge your assumptions—and give you language for the conversations that matter.

Episode 185 of The Authentic Human podcast, Part 109 of The Story of Creation explores the four major systems that shaped human society — and how they were designed to mask your connection to universal consciousness. For over a year, this series has followed real-time conversations with universal beings about the origins of existence, human sovereignty, and the truth of creation. In this episode, we go deeper. Not into conspiracy, into truth. Universal truth. We explore: • Why your connection to the universe can never be severed • How the medical system reinforced the belief that you are broken • Why true healing begins in energy, frequency, and cellular rebalancing • How religion introduced judgment culture and blocked creative power • Why the financial system weaponized fear and worthiness • How the education system anchored generational belief patterns • The psychology of control and one world governance • Why anger feeds the system instead of transforming it • The difference between demanding truth and being willing to receive it • How judgment blocks access to consciousness • Why humanity is remembering — not awakening • The shift from fighting the system to creating a new world Human beings were born brilliant. Born curious. Born self-healing. Born sovereign. The systems did not hide truth from you. They trained you to believe you didn't have access to it. Truth feeds freedom. Freedom feeds creation. Creation expands consciousness. If you've ever felt: • Something about the world doesn't make sense • You were meant for more • The system feels misaligned • Healing is deeper than physical medicine • You want truth — not comfort This episode will challenge how you see existence. The future of humanity will not be built by fighting the old system. It will be built by individuals exploring their true potential and creating something entirely new. 0:00 – The Story of Creation: Why Humanity Was Disconnected from Universal Consciousness 1:46 – Your Connection to the Universe Can Never Be Severed (Only Masked) 3:05 – The Medical System and the Belief That You Are Broken 4:41 – Humans Were Designed as Self-Healing Beings 5:05 – “Miracle” Healings Explained Through Conscious Belief and Frequency Shift 6:04 – Religion, Judgment Culture, and Why Humans Stopped Trusting Themselves 7:16 – Judgment Blocks Creative Power and Fuels a Clone-Based Society 9:13 – The Financial System, Fear, Worthiness, and Control 11:10 – The Education System and Generational Belief Programming 12:21 – How Analytical Conditioning Blocks Freedom and Universal Truth 16:24 – Government Structure and the Psychology of Global Control 20:01 – Why Fighting the System Feeds the System 21:17 – The Difference Between Demanding Truth and Being Willing to Receive It 29:50 – Truth Is Not Hidden — You Were Trained to Fear It 32:04 – Stop Fixing the Old System: Create a New World Through Sovereignty 38:01 – Judgment Feeds Control; Exploration Creates the Future 40:28 – Truth Feeds Freedom and Activates Universal Participation New episodes of The Authentic Human Podcast weekly exploring universal consciousness, sovereignty, human origins, energy architecture, and the evolution of existence.

John X hosts the third episode of “Born In Trouble” with guests Robert Brooks (in-studio) and Andrew Johnson (host of the Men Money and Marriage Podcast). The conversation ranges from reactions to a Spanish-language halftime performance and public discomfort with other cultures, to concerns that the U.S. is increasingly divided and “full of” contradictions. They discuss faith and the idea that there is only one God/Jesus, argue that protecting vulnerable children is a moral imperative, and condemn pedophilia while criticizing how high-profile cases and trials are drip-fed to distract the public. They talk about Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell's alleged intelligence ties, and claim Epstein did not want Black people on the island, framing it as “white on white crime,” while cautioning against pulling Black people in as scapegoats. They revisit Michael Jackson, suggesting allegations were tied to power and music publishing, describing how he amassed catalogs (including the Beatles and Sony-related publishing) and used leverage in the industry, including returning Little Richard's rights. The episode also covers immigration and business incentives to exploit undocumented labor, including avoiding taxes/benefits, and connects this to broader U.S. history and Manifest Destiny, arguing people are “coming back” to land taken from Mexico. They speculate about hidden history, restricted sites like parts of the Grand Canyon, and debates over identity, criticizing tribalism and the use of slurs within communities. Andrew shares concerns about his daughter's future, rising costs, and the increasing age of first-time homebuyers; they discuss 50-year mortgages as “glorified renting” and how lack of equity could discourage divorce. They debate AI's impact on jobs, suggesting timelines are exaggerated but warning about motives, and they argue screen-based schooling and phone dependence reduce creativity and critical thinking in Gen Z. They briefly mention hypocrisy around anti-LGBTQ rhetoric (including Grindr spikes during Republican conventions) and insist people should be judged by character rather than group identity. The episode closes with a warning about scapegoating, references to “ghetto loans” from mortgage work, commentary on hypocrisy in politics and culture, and a sign-off framing the episode as “Devil Worshipers,” with plans for future episodes and a possible one-on-one with Grant Lancaster. 00:00 Cold Open and Guests 01:02 Valentine's Day Banter 02:49 Welcome to Born In Trouble 03:40 Super Bowl Halftime Debate 05:47 Do We Stand for Anything 06:19 Faith and Protecting Kids 08:40 Immigration and Business Incentives 10:57 Division and Distraction Politics 12:35 Michael Jackson Revisited 15:02 Publishing Power and Catalog Wars 18:06 Epstein Network and Race 23:01 Manifest Destiny and Hidden History 25:34 Identity Tribalism and Language 28:55 When Did It Get So Tribal 29:16 Tribal Cities Talk 31:18 Parenting and Housing Fears 32:25 Looking Rich Economy 33:22 Fifty Year Mortgages 36:16 Aging Out the Demo 37:32 AI Jobs Reality Check 42:02 Screen Age Kids 45:05 Tribalism and Community 49:19 LGBTQ and Hypocrisy 54:17 Closing Thoughts and Signoff

In this episode of What Your Therapist is Reading, psychotherapist and host Jessica Fowler interviews education writer Natalie Wexler about her book "The Knowledge Gap: The Hidden Cause of America's Broken Education System—and How to Fix It.  (Affiliate Link) Wexler explains that many elementary schools, especially since the rise of high-stakes testing around 2000, have reduced time spent on history, social studies, and science in favor of practicing transferable reading “skills” like finding the main idea. Drawing on cognitive science, she argues these skills depend heavily on prior knowledge and vocabulary, and that building knowledge through coherent, topic-based instruction improves reading comprehension by reducing working-memory load (cognitive load theory). In addition, we discuss we explore how mental health and education are connected.   Highlights: What the “Knowledge Gap” Is—and How Elementary School Got Here Why “Reading Skills” Don't Transfer: The Cognitive Science of Comprehension Inquiry vs. Instruction: How Education Ideology Collides with Learning Science Working Memory, Cognitive Load, and Why Background Knowledge Matters History & Science Scores, Missing Context, and the “Mental Velcro” Effect Mental health and education 18:30 What Parents & Communities Can Do: Knowledge-Building Curricula and Advocacy 22:07 Standards, Teacher Autonomy, and the Curriculum Problem No One Talks About 25:32 Why Therapists Should Care: Shame, Identity, and a Reno Classroom Breakthrough 29:58 Engagement Benefits: Behavior, Curiosity, and Kids Loving to Learn 32:07 Natalie's New Book + Connecting Reading, Writing, and Content Learning 34:23 Wrap-Up, Where to Find More, and Podcast Disclaimer About the author: Natalie Wexler is an education writer who has spoken before a wide range of audiences in the U.S. and elsewhere, focusing on literacy, cognitive science, and fairness.

A former public school teacher never planned to homeschool — until COVID forced a hard reset. In this episode, Cheryl talks with Janae Daniels from the School to Homeschool Podcast about the moment everything changed: the “magical” 2020 shutdown, the surprising nudge to homeschool, and the first day that completely fell apart… until a piano tuner accidentally delivered the best real-life science lesson her kids had ever experienced.Janae shares what deschooling actually looks like (and why it's harder for parents than kids), how she stopped trying to replicate school at home, and what happened when her children finally had room for boredom, curiosity, and real learning: guitar skills built through YouTube lessons, reading for meaning (not grades), embroidery that turned into paid work, early jobs, business books, conferences, and a senior year centered on debate, confidence, and entrepreneurship.If you're thinking, “I'm not smart enough,” “My kids will fight me,” or “Is it too late to start homeschooling — especially for middle and high school?” this conversation will give you clarity, encouragement, and a new definition of education.Connect with Janae:InstagramFacebookYouTubeWebsiteFollow the show, leave a review, and share this episode with a parent who needs reassurance today.Mentioned in today's episode:

In this powerful episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano unveils a New Contract with America that delivers real, practical, conservative solutions to the problems facing the country. Professor Giordano cuts through the political noise and presents a clear blueprint to end government weaponization, eliminate waste and fraud, restore federalism, reduce dependency, lower healthcare costs, and fix the failing education system. These are not gimmicks or recycled talking points. They are common-sense reforms rooted in the Founders' vision of limited government and personal responsibility. The best part is that these solutions don't cost taxpayers a thing, and actually saves tax dollars. This episode challenges the status quo, exposes how big government fuels national decline, and shows how quickly America can be strengthened when power is restored to the people.   Episode Highlights A government that works for the people by dismantling political weaponization, restoring accountability, and reasserting constitutional oversight. Realistic reforms that cut waste, strengthen federalism, reduce welfare dependency, lower healthcare costs, and empower families and workers. A bold plan to rebuild American competence through civics, real-life skills, merit-based advancement, and financial literacy that prepares students for adulthood.
