    The Delta, E13 - Let Students Fail: The Black Box of Education Nov 17, 2021
    Show notes

    Hidden Curriculum 2:
    Nicholas is joined by POD host Adam Sommer, to discuss the ultimate failure in education: teaching students to not fail.

    Follow the analogy of education as an airplane, and why the most valuable thing we can do for students is let them fly, and crash, the plane.
    Adam and Nicholas reveal the inside of the black box of education: personal accounts of failure, unintended lessons learned from education, and the reason that high school is a holding pattern for students while expertise inflation diminishes public education; all while the push to end public education ramps up to a new fever pitch.
