Beyond the Echo Chamber: What Education Reform Actually Looks Like with LindaGail Walker
We're sending kids out of high school completely unprepared for the real world, and wondering why they're anxious, directionless, and failing to launch.
This week on The Path Forward, I sat down with LindaGail Walker - a 30-year education veteran, nationally recognized expert in post-traumatic growth, and lead co-author of USC's Trauma Readiness course.
In this episode, we talked about how:
→ Kids are slipping through the cracks while we obsess over college prep for everyone
→ We're missing high-risk students - especially the quiet ones internalizing their struggles
→ Screen time is destroying empathy, communication, and decision-making skills
→ Without financial literacy and employable skills, we're setting kids up to fail
LindaGail's insight hit home: "You can tell kids all day long that they are empowered, but until they have some level of success, they are never going to feel that way."
If you're tired of the education echo chamber and ready for real solutions, this episode is for you.
