Episode 34: Cutting School: Why Classical Schools Fragment Education and Turn Learning into Subjects

In this episode, Dr. Perrin laments the ways that classical schools, like progressives schools, regularly "cut up" the curriculum into too many disconnected fragments that become "subjects."

Hey Chris! I have wondering if you have recommended resources on pedagogy, specifically for math but in general would be good too.
I’m currently tutoring students in math, but I think I might be the one who is not teaching correctly.

I feel like there should be a complete break from even using the word “school” because of the intent of the institution to break the day into sections, which, doesn’t allow mastery, but rather keeps the student off balance. Modern “schools” are a product of the Industrial Revolution, intended for producing a workforce. What would be a better break from this thinking than not even calling them “schools?”
