S1:E10 - School and the "Wicked" World of David Epstein's "Range" Re: Teaching
-
- Education
"Does our preparation for students in the 'kind' world of school really prepare them for life outside its walls or does it prove counterproductive, or even maladaptive, when the rules change and those hours of training fail to transfer? And to what extent does this 'kind'/'wicked' framing help us understand the divide in our approaches to education?"
