    Ever wonder how school got to be the way it is? Like, why lockers exist, or why they teach what they do in math class? Lesson Plans is a new podcast about all this and more. Join Eric Grossman, Head of School at the Akiva School in Montreal and Avi Finegold, a Podcaster and former high school teacher, as they break down some of the big theories of education and show how these ideas shape the school environment for better, or for worse.
    Whether you are a parent looking to know more about their child's education, a teacher looking to understand how school got to be the way it is, or a former student desperately trying to forget the quadratic equation, Lesson Plans hopes to be the answer key to all your school questions.
