Episode Details

On this field trip, Roy and Martin skip the usual banter and head straight into a conversation with their guest, Andrew Cantarutti, a teacher and author who has spent more than a decade working in classrooms across Canada and around the world. Andrew thinks deeply about how children learn and how schools can more effectively support focus, curiosity, and meaningful thinking in a world overflowing with screens and distractions. He’s the creator of Walled Garden Education, where he shares simple but powerful ideas for building calm, supportive classrooms that help students slow down, pay attention, and truly learn. Join Andrew and the Stunt Brothers for a rich and thought-provoking discussion.
