When Convenience Comes at a Cost to Learning with Dr. Jonathan Strecker
Episode 2371
Friday, 14 August, 2026
Technology promises to make learning faster, easier, and more personalized. But what happens when convenience begins to replace the experiences students need to grow?David Cicero talks with Jonathan Strecker, Head of School at Valley School of Ligonier and author of Emergence, about the difference between achievement and development, why struggle and even boredom matter, and how AI can support learning without doing the learning for students. The conversation explores Strecker’s five dimensions of human development—intellectual, social, emotional, ethical, and physical—and what schools should consider as technology becomes increasingly capable of removing friction from students’ lives.
