Navigating the Challenges of Common Core Education

In this episode, we delve into the challenges of the common core educational system, particularly the frustration of being forced to study subjects that don't align with personal interests. Our guest recounts the experience of repeatedly learning about topics like the dynastic cycle in ancient China, questioning the curriculum's relevance. The discussion highlights how this lack of interest and repetition can make schooling difficult, especially in college, where many students pursue degrees without a clear passion or direction. Join us as we explore the impact of rigid curricula on student engagement and the importance of finding one's true interests amidst academic pressures.
