Ever wonder how school got to be the way it is? Like, why lockers exist, or why they teach what they do in math class? Lesson Plans is a new podcast about all this and more. Join Eric Grossman, head of School at the Akiva School in Montreal and Avi Finegold, a Podcaster and former High School teacher, as they break down some of the big theories of education and show how these ideas shape the school environment for better, or for worse.
