The Old School

Mr. Miller and Dr. Bourgeois delve into an area where they have little experience and strong opinions: elementary education. In this preliminary discussion, they lay the foundation for a future episode where they invite current elementary teachers to their podcast . . . to set them right.

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.”
