Welcome to Ready to Redo - where our goal is to transform the failing education system! I’m Jo Yang, and in episode 2 we’re unpacking the issues of standardisation and compliance in education/school/university. 
We discuss:
The history of the system (Prussia, industrial revolution) 
Seth Godin’s ‘Linchpin’
Standardised tests and grading scales 
Asking ‘what’s on the test?’
Unhealthy competition 
How as adults, we often can’t be hecked to come up with original ideas and look to others for guidance
