The Tenpenny Files with John Jake Klyczek

You thought moving your child to private school or homeschooling meant escaping the system.

Millions of parents have pulled their children from public schools believing they’d escaped a system they no longer trusted. John Klyczek believes many may have unknowingly stepped into its next phase.

That conclusion comes after years spent tracing the connections between education reform, government policy, private foundations, artificial intelligence, public-private partnerships, and the technology quietly finding its way into nearly every classroom.

Most of us think the debate is about public schools versus charter schools. Or private schools versus homeschooling. John’s research suggests we’ve been asking the wrong question all along.

What if the choices aren’t as different as they appear?

My conversation with John Klyczek, author of School World Order: The Technocratic Globalization of Corporatized Education, explores a web of relationships most parents have never been shown. He traces the evolution of modern education from early reform movements and philanthropic influence to today’s rapid expansion of artificial intelligence, digital learning platforms, workforce development initiatives, and data-driven decision-making.

If your child learns through a computer, completes assignments on digital platforms, receives personalized instruction, or attends a school promoted as an alternative to the traditional public system, John asks parents to look beneath the surface before accepting the promise of educational freedom. Who designs these systems? Who benefits from them? And where might they ultimately lead?

Then the conversation takes an unexpected turn.

As a college professor who taught rhetoric and research writing for more than eight years, John explains why he believes the greatest concern surrounding artificial intelligence isn’t simply students using it to complete assignments. His concern runs much deeper. He asks what happens when technology gradually assumes the very thinking education was designed to develop.

That single idea changes the way you hear everything that follows.

From there, the discussion expands into behavioral data, digital identity, workforce planning, transhumanism, and the growing role artificial intelligence may play in shaping future generations. Whether you ultimately agree with John’s conclusions or not, you’ll hear a carefully researched perspective that challenges many of the assumptions surrounding modern education and raises questions few people are asking.

The interview leaves you with questions the book continues to investigate.

The book contains decades of historical research, documentation, and connections that simply cannot fit into a single conversation.

Together, they invite you to examine one of the most important questions facing parents today.

Because before deciding where our children should go to school, perhaps we should first ask: 

Who built every path we’re choosing from?

Meet our Guest

Few researchers have spent as much time connecting the dots between education policy, artificial intelligence, technocracy, and global governance as John Klyczek.

An independent scholar, writer, educator, and college professor, John holds a master’s degree in English and taught college-level rhetoric and research writing for more than eight years before turning his attention to investigating the forces reshaping modern education. His work has appeared in independent publications, including Unlimited Hangout, where he has written extensively on education policy and emerging technocratic systems.

John is the author of School World Order: The Technocratic Globalization of Corporatized Education, a deeply researched examination of how public-private partnerships, education technology, philanthropic foundations, government policy, and artificial intelligence are transforming education into something far different from what most parents believe it to be.

Whether readers ultimately agree with every conclusion or not, his work challenges assumptions, asks difficult questions, and encourages people to examine the long-term direction of education with fresh eyes.
