In this episode, I explain how schools should set up their curriculum from Homework to a Block Schedule. Since stress in school workloads has increased and many people have a hard time getting work done at home. Also the quality of the homework tends to make work redundant since it is all repetition and fails to help develop the skills the students need to learn.

Standardized Testing has become a problem for teachers, students, and parents because it has created concerns about the quality of the education and the motivation for kids to engage in wanting to read and be engaged in school. Technology has also become a source of concern for everybody on wanting to read, because it has become a new source of entertainment for the new generation of school students.
