About this episode

The episode explores the differences in school systems between Denmark and the U.S., highlighting beneficial practices from Danish schools.

When Pernille Ripp moved from the U.S., where she had taught for over a decade, to her native country of Denmark, she was immediately struck by how different school was. In this episode, we'll explore why Danish schools are so good for teachers and students, and which practices we might be able to adopt in the U.S. ___________________________ Thanks to Alpaca and iCivics for sponsoring the episode.
