In this episode, we go through the history of public education in America from the colonial period to the present.  The hope is that we set the groundwork for a future discussion of data collection and assessment.  We look at how the Waldorf model intersects with this evolution and Adam attempts to look into his crystal ball to see what the next epoch will bring.

What is your relationship to the rules? 
In this episode, we go through a parade of emotions.  Adam talks about wearing kilts.  Kristi shares about her dress code blindness.  But more importantly, we tackle the big topics that come up in regard to rules, specificlly DRESS CODE, including sexism, classism and body shaming.  As always, we ground our discussion in child development and the fundamentals of Waldorf pedagogy.
