Hannah Frankman skipped college, grew up homeschooled her whole life, and now spends her days convincing parents that everything they think they know about "good schools" is a lie they've been sold. I brought her back on to settle something that's been eating at me: is fixing education about more funding, or is the entire institutional model rotten at the root? We get into the girl who graduated high school with a 4.0 and still can't read, why 21% of American adults are functionally illiterate and why I think the answer isn't reform, it's a thousand different answers happening at once. We get into personal responsibility, why blaming the system feels safer than trusting your own judgment, and why I think AI and the internet are about to shatter the monoculture we've been living in for the last hundred years, in a good way. Hannah makes the case that the answer was never reforming public school it's giving parents real optionality.
