In The Loop for May 2007: What I Really Learned in School

Reading, writing, and 'rithmetic? Come on! We travel from the early 1900's to a modern-day middle-school lunchroom to explore what lessons are really being taught in schools. Features commentaries from listeners, lots of conversation with actual kids, a new "Schoolhouse Rock"-inspired tune, and a new song from The Smarts on how the most important teachers can be under the bleachers.

The latest trend in education: Unschooling

Unschooling is an unstructured approach to education. Children don't have classes, text books or teachers. Instead they pick their own areas to study. They learn about the world by living in it. (05/18/2007)

Remember your high-school lunch room?

We hit the skyway food court at lunchtime to hear some adult memories and reflections. (05/18/2007)

Kid's lunch
