Our schools are failing and it's nothing new. The Friday Morning Break with John Gibbs
A conversation with Professor Esther Leslie of Birkbeck College discussing the purpose of schools, the impact of technology on education, and the need for fostering critical thinking. We reflect on the ideas of Theodore Adorno and Walter Benjamin and explore topics such as the Frankfurt School's critique of instrumental reasoning in education, the potential of modern technologies for democratizing access to culture, and the decline of humanities in current education systems.
