Education X.0
The world has changed and education needs to follow suit. We are educators and parents who believe there's a better way to do school. These podcasts reflect our ongoing dialogue about the purpose and best practices of school. We hope to stimulate conversation and provide resources to people who are ready to take education to the next level.

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.
