Upon working directly with teachers in high schools, I saw first hand how different school was from what I remembered. I began to ponder what school could be like for young people with a simple shift in the goal of education. My book, "What's the Point of School: Ed Transformation, A Matter of Life and Death" takes a look at the current goal of the American education system, how it came to be, and what effects it has on our children's wellbeing and future.
