"The American education system is very focused on controlling kids more so than it is on learning. It's almost too authoritarian for the kid to really learn, because they're so focused on neurotypical social norms and pleasing the teacher- making eye contact, sitting still, when a lot of kids can't do that", says Ben Fanta. Ben joins this episode to discuss becoming a teacher, developing healthy relationships, and why he loves hugs. To learn more about Ben visit https://www.instagram.com/ben.thedoorguy/ .
