Miss Education

Published on: 17th March, 2021

Jeanine joins IA to help put the miseducation of our youth and roots of racial inequality in focus. This conversation attempts to traverse a range of delicate topics with the degree of nuance they deserve including:

- the relationship between racial inequality and democratization of early education

- the struggle of keeping top talent in early education

- the strange politicization of charter schools and "school choice"

- the limits of rigid partisanship

- the importance of maintaining the proper incentives for achievement and innovation

- avoiding racial essentialism in search of true anti-racism

- keeping truly open discussion at the forefront of education

- reevaluating "defunding the police" and how to mitigate the unnecessary loss of black lives

- overcoming the stigma of ivy league prestige

- the primacy of instilling self-esteem and a growth mindset in the youth

and many others!

About the Podcast

Impostors Anonymous
For the impostor in all of us.
Impostors Anonymous is an exploration of where conversation leads when we attempt to leave our identities at the door. This project aims to limit the audience's ability to be misguided by preconceived notions and labels, allowing for a focus on direct experience and the character of content. While any topic is on the table from any perspective, common themes will include consciousness, mitigating human suffering, and the unraveling of our group and internal identities.
