Episode Details

In this episode of Up+Adam, Adam Montiel chats with Taylor Jenisch, producer of the groundbreaking documentary The Death of Recess. This film is a deeply moving and eye-opening exploration of how our education system is failing our children by clinging to an industrial-era model that treats students like factory workers instead of creative, curious individuals. Through a decade of research, Taylor and the team shine a light on what’s broken and explore inspiring global solutions, from Finland’s student-focused system to innovative approaches here in the U.S.



If you care about the future of education, this conversation is a must-listen. Don’t miss Taylor’s insights into the making of the film and his passionate call for meaningful reform.
