Episode description

2020 has given parents a front-row seat to the realities of their child’s life in school.  The problem isn’t merely the virtual classroom; most of what happens in school lacks relevance and “stickiness.” AJ and Christy explain why and how an educational model that was “good enough for my generation” is failing kids today.
