Dopamine Culture, Distraction, and the Myth of the Lazy Child with Matt Beaudreau

Описание: Curiosity is not something children have to be taught. It’s something that has to be protected.

Aaron Hale sits down with educator and Apogee founder Matt Beaudreau to examine the origins of modern schooling and the cost of standardization. The conversation traces how a system built for behavior control replaced apprenticeship, mastery, and human development.

It moves past blame and sentiment to examine distraction, dopamine, discipline, and the role of family in shaping capable young adults.

If education forms identity, then the deeper question becomes whether families are raising thinkers or simply training workers.
