Hosts: Roger Boswarva & Virginia Koenig
All of life is a Learning Curve. The ability to learn is vital to the success of all of us—particularly our children. But there’s a dirty little secret: modern educational practices impede our natural ability to learn. The Learning Curve is vital listening for parents who want their kids to succeed in either conventional or home schooling, for educators who want to improve performance, and for all who want to succeed in life. Hear how to learn and how to teach successfully, how to recover failed students, and how continued learning relates to success in life.
