Beyond the Diploma: What Does it Mean to be Educated?

Episode 64: August 31, 2026. As another school year begins, Craig and Jack talk about the nature and goals of education. Is the purpose of college to get a job? Is training different from other forms of learning? What would an ideal K-12 system look like? In this episode, explore these and other questions including whether it is a professor’s job to challenge student beliefs, how U.S. federal student-loan requirements actually slow students down and lead to burn out, and whether or not preschool kids can actually do philosophy.
