The Old School

Dr. Bourgeois and Mr. Miller discuss the pros and cons of school athletics. And Mr. Miller tells a heartfelt tale of childhood loss, loosely connected to the topic at hand, but no less moving . . . as it were.

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.”
