Episode Synopsis
AMDG. The harmony between education’s tangible and intangible features is our focus today as Soren Schwab of the Classic Learning Test joins us. Soren shares some comparisons and contrasts between German and American education, discusses the hyper-specialization seen in some modern education, touches on the concept of school choice, and describes how the infrastructure to support and provide classical education has grown in the past decade. He also highlights the proper relationship with standards or metrics as part of education.
