The Government's War on Real Education, Part 1: What is the War on Real Education?
Welcome back to The State of Education podcast, presented by One-Room Education.
In Part 1 of the Government's War on Real Education, I discuss the changes in the mission of the primary and secondary educational institutions in the United States and the history behind the changes, as well as how these changes have affected the students' high school completion rate over the last 50+ years.
Today's episode, The Government's War on Real Education, Part 1: What is the War on Real Education and Why Haven’t I heard about it? is pretty data-heavy, so bear with me and we will make sense of it all together.
In Part 1 of this amazingly informative mini-series I present you with a wide variety of topics pertaining to how this war on real, or classical, education started.
Topics for this episode include:
1. Defining what a REAL education is.
2. Defining/describing what the war on real education is.
3. The effects this war has had on American education since the start in the late 1800s
4. Looking at how the end goal of primary and secondary education has changed.
5. Examining the profit motive of postsecondary institutions in lobbying for bills that go against the best interests of our nation’s children.
6. Break down government numbers in regards to graduation and dropout rates.
7. What is a "Real Education"?
I define a Real Education as a Classical Education that teaches the basics of reading, writing, math, and civics to all citizens of a given country.
In addition to the 4 basic disciplines, the students are also taught HOW to learn and HOW to think.

Teacher's Unions...Good or Bad for Your Children? Part 2
Welcome back to The State of Education podcast, presented by One-Room Education. Join me as I discuss the effects of the public teacher's unions on the American classroom and beyond in Part 2 of "Teacher's Unions...Good or Bad for Your Children?". In Part 2 I talk about the corrupt political powerhouse that the teacher's unions have grown into over the last 100+ years and the issues they cause inside and outside of the American classrooms.
Topics discussed today include:
1. The problems that have arisen out of the federalization of education in America and the effect it has had on the individual classroom teachers and, by extension, their students.
2. The correlation between the establishment of the federal Department of Education and the expansion of influence and power of the public teacher's unions.
3. How the teacher's unions, in cooperation with politicians, are working to enable and embolden teachers who want to use the classrooms to forge a new generation of political activists who align with their own beliefs and values, instead of teaching the students how to be independent thinkers and individuals who can discern what their own opinions on worldly matters are instead of relying on someone else to tell them what to think.

Teacher's Unions...Good or Bad for Your Children? Part 1
Welcome back to The State of Education podcast, presented by One-Room Education. Join me today as I discuss the creation and growth of the public teachers union and how they evolved into the hyper-politicized behemoths we know today.
In today's discussion, we'll be covering topics including:
1. Why the public teacher's unions were originally created.
2. Who created the unions.
3. Similarities the public teacher's unions have with other private-sector unions.
4. Why this really does affect every aspect of education from pre-k through doctoral candidacy.
In this, the first of a 2 part series, I give you the background of the formation of the public teacher's unions and how they were founded with good intentions. I present the similarities and differences between public and private sector unions and why it matters to everyone who holds an interest in the United States education system; which is literally every citizen and resident of the US.

The Factory Model of Education: What is it and is it Still Viable in Today's Ever Evolving World?
Welcome back to The State of Education, presented by One-Room Education. Join me as I take a moderately deep dive into the subjects taught in modern schools and the reasoning behind them, as well as some practical reforms to help ensure a more prosperous future for all our children.
Today we're going to be discussing:
1. How the modern American education system was established and by whom.
2. The evolution of the modern education system in America and why it is the way it is today.
3. Why you should care/need to know this stuff.
Today I will attempt to answer those age-old questions every student has asked at least once in class, "why am I here?" and "why do I have to learn this? I'm never going to use it in my real life!" Well, good news! It's not just you and it really doesn't make sense for you from an overall economic standpoint either.
