Episode 5: On Faculty Meetings

Dr. Bourgeois and Mr. Miller lament sitting through 25 years of faculty meetings. While noting a few bright spots, they delve into the tension between teachers' valuable time and information that "must" be shared right after school . . . with the entire staff . . . in the cafeteria . . . when everyone is tired and just wants to go home.

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.”
