"School is Optional" (S2,E2)

Needless to say, our education system in this country is as complicated as one would imagine, but not so much that it can't be analyzed, understood, and improved upon. Like any system, it's a matter of recognizing the value of a system by the value of its parts. That's exactly what I hope to do with this podcast - exploring aspects of our education system in order to celebrate what is being improved upon in order to highlight what might still need to be addressed; recognizing the shadows by celebrating the light. Join me in my journey as I continue exploring the core of who we are and how we learn as students, humans, and citizens. #ExploringTheCore
