440 The Biggest Lie in Education? College vs. Career

What if the biggest problem in education isn't students, teachers, or even curriculum?

What if the system was intentionally designed to separate opportunity?

In this follow-up episode, Peter and Alli unpack their thought-provoking conversation with Superintendent Chris Nesmith and explore some of the most disruptive ideas discussed on the podcast this year.

From the false choice between college and career, to Germany's apprenticeship-to-engineer model, to why "dead-end pathways" still exist in many schools, this episode challenges long-held assumptions about what student success should look like.

The conversation dives into career-connected learning, durable skills, internships, AI, workforce readiness, and why schools often prioritize the perception of achievement over actual readiness.If you've ever wondered what a high school diploma should truly represent in 2026 and beyond, this episode is for you.

Listen to the original Chris Nesmith interview, then join Peter and Alli as they connect the dots and explore what education could become when every student's potential remains expandable—not fixed.
