À propos de cet audio

 Professor Lyell Asher joins the podcast to explore the evolution of education schools and their far-reaching impact on both higher education and the K–12 system. He traces the origins of ed schools in the early 20th century, the ideological shifts of the 1960s, and how these changes contributed to a growing disconnect between educational institutions and mainstream societal values. Professor Asher examines the influence of education schools on college administration and student life—particularly the role of dormitories in shaping student ideology. He also addresses critical challenges in higher education, including grade inflation, administrative leadership gaps, and the politicization of academic standards. The conversation highlights potential solutions, such as creating civic education centers and prioritizing foundational skills like reading. Asher also reflects on the role of government in education and emphasizes the essential part parents must play in shaping educational content.
