Many suggest the video mirrors America’s failing education system.

Radical philosophical changes in our schools over the past few decades have produced the growing chaos we see today. Not surprisingly, we are also seeing a significant decline in student’s reading and math skills:

But something different is happening in the school being operated by Katharine Birbalsingh in London, England’s inner city.

The National Post introduces its podcast interview with Birbalsingh:

“At Katharine Birbalsingh’s inner-city free school in London, students are not to speak in the hallways. Discipline is strict. Students wear uniforms, sit in rows and listen to instruction. It’s teacher-led learning, not child-centred. The kids, heavily drawn from minority groups, memorize knowledge and learn duty. It’s what used to be considered a typical education. But as Birbalsingh tells host Brian Lilley this week, she’s now considered a “radical.” The results? The students at Michaela Community School are excelling and parents are delighted.“
