Daniel Buck on What Is Wrong With Our Schools
About this episode
On this episode of Anchored, Soren is joined by Daniel Buck, teacher, senior visiting fellow at the Fordham Institute, and author of What Is Wrong With Our Schools? The two discuss the importance of maintaining certain traditional practices despite changing technology. They explore the impact of John Dewey and other educational theorists’ varied views of human nature on the philosophy of the current public school system, advocating for a student’s education to focus on content rather than acquiring skills. The two also talk about the necessary balance between student-directed techniques and models as well as boundaries that are crucial for student growth and accountability.
