In this episode, we explore the origins of the public school system and how its foundational structure continues to shape education today. Matt Beaudreau breaks down how the system was designed and why it may not be meeting the needs of modern learners. From its historical roots to its present-day limitations, we uncover the true impact of a one-size-fits-all approach to education.
The conversation shifts to the future of learning as Matt, alongside Tim Kennedy, co-founded Apogee to create an alternative to traditional schooling. With a focus on unschooling and developing real-world skills, Apogee is changing the way we think about education. This is about more than just fixing the system—it’s about creating a space where students can thrive and develop their fullest potential.
