The END...of Public Education?
1. END: It's over, irrelevant, useless, needs to be done away with. Does far more harm than good (it does no good).
2. END: (As in means to an end) We'll also explore the true intentions behind the system, which have very little to do with real education. There is substantial evidence that its failure to educate is no accident.
School Sucks Podcast is a show about what one might do about these problems...
Brett Veinotte, Host
As an educator, I've been very lucky. I have managed to completely avoid teaching in public school. However, I was trained to teach with public school teachers, my student teaching experience was in a public high school, and in private school, invisible forces burdened me with "state standards" (no matter how hard I tried to maneuver around them). When I left private school, the system followed me into private tutoring (grades, student apathy, etc...). I was once on track to be a certified public school teacher in Massachusetts, seeking the state permission slip required to read a Department of Education-approved script they called "history," but I quickly changed course once I became aware of what I was getting into. I told myself that I could find other ways to teach, and I have. I hope you'll find this show to be educational and helpful!
