The Old School

Mr. Miller and Dr. Bourgeois take this opportunity to pick on students, claiming that their collective attention span has gradually diminished over the past several years. They touch on technology and testing, as always, and certainly show their age.

What is The Old School?

Dr. Steven Bourgeois and Mr. Ross Miller lead an informal discussion between a current and a former teacher on topics that challenge "best practices" in contemporary education. In keeping with Neil Postman (1979), we support the conserving function of education: “Its aim at all times is to make visible the prevailing biases of a culture and then, by employing whatever philosophies of education are available, to oppose them.”
