And unfortunately, it was actually very hard sometimes for the teacher to give a response that I actually, you know, believed in.

But I also, because I was motivated to do well in school, because I really wanted to go to this specific university, I knew how to get the grades.

I knew how to play the game of school.

But I just wasn't very bought into it.

And so fast forward a number of years when it was time for my husband and myself to send our two little girls to school.

We sent them to our local school that was kind of down the road.

And I very quickly saw...

that nothing had changed in the way that classes were run during all of this time.

And that's, again, it's been true for a couple of hundred years since the Industrial Revolution, which is to be clear, the reason that schools in that kind of one size fits all classroom was created was to teach kids how to be compliant,

to be rule followers and to do what they were told because they were getting ready to move them into factory work.

Yeah.

I mean, think about that, Simon.

What you said is so true.

Our identities get so wrapped up in how we perform.

And I was actually one of those people, too.

I wasn't very good in math.

So I grew up saying, OK, I'm bad at math.

I'm not a math kid.

I'm not a I'm a I'm a girl who doesn't do math.

And I will tell you, there's been a lot of research studies out there.
