School Isn’t Broken: It’s Measuring the Wrong Things

Описание: Hi lovely friends!! Welcome to a rambly deep dive on some of the things I think need to change in the education system today, from exam pressure, to teacher retention and teacher shortages, to a lack of student mental health support, and an outdated curriculum. I'm still listening, reading and learning a lot, so I'm sure my ideas will evolve over time, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on the education you received!!

So much love for you all 📚✨
