Episode 91: On National Parks, Part I (Grand Tetons National Park)

As Mr. Miller and his family attempt to shoe horn two more national parks before the start of the next school year, the hosts discuss the first of the two parks - Grand Tetons National Park in western Wyoming. In the course of this discussion, the hosts unpack the park itself as well as the drive there, Jackson Hole, the beauty of southeastern Idaho and the nature of cities in the northern mountainous states.

After delving into the wonders of nature with this episode, consider doing a deep intellectual dive into our book, The Center Cannot Hold: A Critical Look at Contemporary Education.

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.”
