Rock n' Roll Will Save Our Schools

The education system is broken. Standardized test fixation fails our kids. Narrow curriculum focused on numeracy and literacy has removed personalized learning, leading to plummeting student engagement and attendance and declining reading and arithmetic rates. This will lead to a mental health crisis and economic disaster. It's time to do education differently. Ricky, working with 100,000+ students, knows how to excite and engage students. With education expert Pasi Sahlberg, they will show how to fix the system, make school exciting, inclusive, and help every child reach their potential
