Listen "Episode 2: School Setup on Curriculum"

Episode Synopsis

In this episode, I explain how schools should set up their curriculum from Homework to a Block Schedule. Since stress in school workloads has increased and many people have a hard time getting work done at home. Also the quality of the homework tends to make work redundant since it is all repetition and fails to help develop the skills the students need to learn.
