Hi I’m Jo Yang, a high school educator and on Ready to Redo we’re dissecting the juicy topic of educational re-doing. Here we question the traditional education system, is it REALLY doing what’s best for our students and their future? Stay tuned for interviews with other educators, organisations defying the educational norm and everyone in between - you’ll be surprised just how many are part of this quest for a redo.

Welcome to Ready to Redo - where our goal is to transform the failing education system! I’m Jo Yang, and in episode 2 we’re unpacking the issues of standardisation and compliance in education/school/university.
We discuss:
- The history of the system (Prussia, industrial revolution)
- Seth Godin’s ‘Linchpin’
- Standardised tests and grading scales
- Asking ‘what’s on the test?’
- Unhealthy competition
- How as adults, we often can’t be hecked to come up with original ideas and look to others for guidance
