Life in Paradise on a Shoestring

The American Education System: Why and How It's Ripe for Reinvention.

Dawn Fleming Season 5 Episode 143

In this episode Dawn dives into how our relationships with ourself and others develops. In the home environment for sure, but also when we enter and go through the educational system.  In Claim Your Dream Life,  Dawn explains how we have BIG DREAMS when we are children, believing we can be and do anything we want.  Then we become conditioned over time to temper our dreams and be "realistic".  By they time we reach adulthood, sadly just earning a steady paycheck is often our new “Dream”. 

What can we do?  Dawn believes the answer lies in revamping the current system as our Industrial Era educational system’s one-size-fits-all approach often leaves students disconnected with each other, bored and disinterested in learning. There is good news.

A non-profit called Transcend is partnering with communities to LISTEN to young people and learn how we can reinvent learning and the educational system.
