Reimagining Education for Today’s Families

Forget What You Learned is a place for families to thoughtfully evaluate the contemporary educational landscape.

We empower you to challenge your own thinking and the status quo of today’s traditional school system, and ask the question: are my kids thriving? Host Cory Greenberg chats with innovators, experts and other parents who are changing the conversation, inspiring families to reimagine what educational success looks like today.

Cory Greenberg

Cory is a parent in the trenches, with three school-aged children who motivate and inspire her to take a critical look at today’s education system. Her background as a Clinical Social Worker in the fields of child welfare and community programs for at-risk youth provided the foundation for her family advocacy. In pursuit of that advocacy, she launched a successful consulting business helping parents with their children’s complex sleep issues. Most recently, she transitioned to the role of Outreach Manager with Pacific Preparatory, a visionary 1:1 school model that is truly changing the paradigm of modern education. It was this role that inspired her to bring these conversations to all the parents out there who are asking themselves hard questions about whether their kids are truly thriving in the traditional model.
