The Only True Voyage: What If Our Teachers Travelled With Us Through School?

Would the negatives of teacher dependency and substandard knowledge be countered by the increased motivation of having awesome teachers who know how to teach you more directly?

In Episode #293 of 'Meanderings' Juan and I discuss: a nice quote from Marcel Proust, the hypothetical of only having 1 teacher throughout your schooling career, what we would consider useful knowledge, Juan's obsession with certain online games and why I might need to think about presenting my status in life.

As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
