Rob interviews Britain's strictest headteacher Katharine Birbalsingh. They explore society's declining values, the rise in youth crime and how educational approaches impact children's development. Birbalsingh shares her philosophy of extreme ownership in schools, arguing that addressing small infractions prevents larger problems. They also discuss modern education, political correctness and the importance of teaching personal responsibility to create a better society.
Katharine Burbalsingh REVEALS:
- Her broken windows theory approach to discipline
- Why society has become increasingly dangerous
- Why people are now afraid to confront wrongdoing
- That schools must teach children personal responsibility, duty towards others and self-sacrifice rather than victimhood
- How the absence of a Dad significantly impacts children's development and how society no longer recognises the importance of Dads
- How private schools have lost their way by embracing woke ideologies rather than maintaining traditional educational values
- That schools are microcosms of society, when schools change, society changes and vice versa
- Excessive bureaucracy and performative DEI training drain meaning and purpose from schools
BEST MOMENTS
"When you don't look after the details, the biggest stuff starts to happen... I say, what do you do when a kid throws a chair? What do you do when a kid gets up out of a lesson and angry and just marches out? I say, that never happens."
"It's how you run a successful school, you care about those details and it's how you run a successful country, frankly."
"Race relations were better in the nineties and the early two thousands than they are now. Religious issues in the country were better then than they are now. All this stuff around being LGBT and so on, all of it, everything was better then."
"I've made a lot of money in my life and by far the best feeling is not all the cars I've bought. It's the money I've given away and the people I've helped."
"Being a teacher is the best job in the world... Money makes life easier, but it doesn't bring you meaning."
