Summary:


In this conversation, Christopher and Broedy discuss their experiences with school and what they feel was missing from their education. Broedy dropped out of school at 15 and felt that he needed more engagement and understanding. Christopher completed school and university but found that the education system focused too much on essays and didn't provide practical skills. They both agree that school is a social experiment and that individual interests and learning styles should be encouraged.


They explore the idea that schools prioritize standardized subjects over creative skills and emotional intelligence. They emphasize the importance of parents taking responsibility for their children's education and valuing subjects that develop creativity and emotional intelligence.
 
They also encourage listeners to explore their interests outside of school and find their own role models. The conversation ends with a teaser for the next episode on the topic of role models.
