Reflecting on the IMPACT of Dr. W. Edwards Deming with David Langford

In this podcast, I interview Kevin Cahill, President of the Deming Institute. Kevin is the grandson of Dr. W. Edwards Deming and has great insight into the teachings of Dr. Deming.
David discusses "Education as a System" and using the four parts of Deming's "System of Profound Knowledge" to make a systemic change to the current education system. He talks about the "aim" and "product" of the education system. "What are we trying to accomplish?" "Are we just trying to improve test scores or are we trying to teach kids to think?"
