Listen "Is School Good? #1: Introducing Is School Good?"
Episode Synopsis
Join the Rabbithole crew as they sharpen their #2 pencils, open their three-ring binders, and begin a new deep dive into the topic of education! In this series, hosts Oren Nimni, Sparky Abraham, Vanessa A. Bee, and Pete Davis will discuss the ups and downs of formal education and its alternatives. Is public education good despite it so often being frustrating and unfulfilling to students? *Should* a good education system be occasionally frustrating? What civic value is there to having a shared educational experience? Why are the most 'prestigious' academic institutions often the least strict? Is freedom from compulsory education an anarchist dream or a libertarian nightmare? In this introductory episode, our intrepid hosts start planning how to answer these and other deep questions about the uses and misuses of education.This episode was edited by Dan Thorn (@danieljtvthorn) of Pink Noise Studios in Somerville, MA, and it features theme music by Danny Bradley.
