Schools Are Teaching Kids the Wrong Things — with Ted Dintersmith

Apr 2, 2026 · 58m

Ted Dintersmith, education advocate and author, joins Scott Galloway to argue that American schools aren't broken, they're just optimized for the wrong century. They discuss why chasing test scores is failing kids, what math we should actually be teaching, the growing gender gap in K-12, and why embracing AI in schools may be the most important thing we can do for the next generation.
