There are problems with the way we teach our students, and What Middle School Didn't Teach Me embarks on a journey - with help from the likes of Y Combinator founder Paul Graham and Python creator Guido Van Rossum - to shed light, create dialogue, and push forward with improvement. What Middle School Didn't Teach Me is a past and future case study, analyzing the erroneous ways of middle schools in the United States, and creating a blueprint for going forward.
