083: Seeds (1 of 2) – Small People Can Be Dangerous

(Part 1 of 2)
For the last two months, I have been working primarily with younger kids (ages 6-10). While comparing and contrasting these recent experiences to my work with high school students, I gained a fresh perspective on this whole "school sucks" idea.

Discussed:
-Domination Systems
-Crushing...courage, imagination, ambition, individuality
-NCLB
-Bureaucratic inertia in the tutoring business
