Savvy, practical insights on where our Education Establishment went wrong and how most schools can be improved.LET'S FIX EDUCATION explains the many dysfunctional theories and methods operating within our schools. This podcast is intended for parents, teachers, and community leaders who want education reform.
Each week, LET'S FIX EDUCATION examines another problem in our public schools, such as: Constructivism. Learning styles. Sight-words. No memorization. Cooperative learning. Prior knowledge. Reform math. The dilution of knowledge. Common Core. Project-based learning. Student-centered, etc. In fact, there are DOZENS of counterproductive learning and teaching theories, all made worse by ideological motives.

Episode 173: What Are Best Education Topics To Study In Grad School (Wed., Oct. 23, 2024)
Memo to students. Are you looking for good topics to research and write about?
I have been studying education for many years. I've published a lot of material that you will find useful.
So much of the writing within the field of education is shallow, useless, and boring. Typically, professors try to protect methods that should never have been embraced in the first place.

I have a podcast with 170+ episodes. You can scan the titles quickly.

And I have 70 graphic videos on YouTube. Short, lively, and dare I say it, fun.

Let's Fix Education explains to Americans why their schools are so bad. The people in charge prefer mediocrity because they are socialists of one kind or another. If people work together to promote real education, we'll have it.

I call myself "America's education expert." Bragging? It’s possibly true because the self-proclaimed experts theorize at a low level. They are enablers of a bad system. I went to excellent schools and graduated with Honors in English Literature from Princeton, and have been a novelist all my life. I think this background in the humanities is important. I have a good sense of what real schools feel like. I hate seeing our public schools descend into failure and mediocrity. (My literary site, a work in progress, provides short descriptions of my novels: Lit4u.com )
