The discussion covers the differences between English and Scottish colleges and how they influenced the American higher education system.

In this sixth installment on the series on education, Dr Koontz and Rev Fisk talk about "socialization", among other topics surrounding the decision of "how do I want my kids to be raised?" They lay out more reasons why institutional education breeds apathy and the inability to create friendships. In their usual fashion, the free-range conversation covers Harold Innis' media ecology, the dearth of male friendship, the role of moms in activism and ways to future-proof your tribe.
