What did your kids learn today? In today’s episode of Never in Reverse, Doug and Jeremy discuss their experiences with public education. The cohosts are both fathers of children in schools – Doug’s children attend public school while Jeremy’s attend a private preschool, but previously attended a public program. Learn how public education is shifting to accommodate new technology, new curriculum, and new ideas – for better or for worse.
Doug and Jeremy begin by discussing their family’s experiences with public school, from Doug’s experiences with new curriculum to the reason Jeremy began investing in private education for his children. Next, they move into higher education and public education more generally, and where they see cultural shifts impacting the education system.

[3:58] Today’s episode is about education in America, particularly as it reforms in the current political climate. Jeremy and Doug are fathers whose children go to school, and their perspectives are based on their experiences.
[10:31] Jeremy has a four-year-old and a five-year-old, both of which go to a private school. Jeremy says that he now has to pay for the experience that public schools gave him as a child, because public schools can no longer provide it.
[16:59] For the most part, there is no reason to go to an Ivy League any more for a general degree. In the current job market, an English degree is not going to get you a career than will pay for your education.

[29:10] Jeremy is seeing a massive shift in technology that he believes will revolutionize education, and may eventually make public education as we know it obsolete.
