“We should really start a podcast.” What began as an off-handed musing in a team meeting became a 12-episode season examining the limitations of our traditional education system. Because Tutor Corps and Pacific Preparatory have been entrenched in the field of customized, 1:1 learning for over 20 years, we have supported families who have struggled with aspects of the modern classroom model, and have been a part of a movement to offer an alternative. Many professionals we collaborate with are equally concerned about some of the consequences of our current system, and we thought amplifying both their warning signals and proposed solutions could allow parents to thoughtfully consider their own family’s experience and definition of academic success.
As a result, the purpose of this podcast is to give parents a chance to examine this central question: “Are my kids thriving?” Host and parent-in-the-trenches Cory Greenberg talks with experts and innovators in the fields of mental health and education, illuminating the ways our traditional system is failing, and some hopeful conversations with those trying to change it.
You’ll hear about three innovative microschool models all aimed at meeting the needs of the whole child and growing healthy, fulfilled, and productive future adults. We explore the childhood anxiety epidemic and how our current system is failing our young boys. We’ll get a peek behind the curtain of highly selective colleges and how families can avoid the harmful rat race to redefine success. You’ll meet a former middle school teacher who exposes the cracks in our modern system and proposes sweeping fundamental changes families can start to make, even at home. And more.
