Why do we even send kids to school?
Episode description
In this week’s Wine Chats episode, we’re diving deep into the true purpose of education. From our own school horror stories to the nightmare that is Year 6 maths homework (seriously, what even is algebra anymore?!), we ask the big questions:
- Are schools preparing kids for real life?
- Who’s doing education right — Finland, Japan, Canada?
- And what could Australia actually learn from them?
We also unpack:
- Why kids are learning things we STILL don’t understand
- Whether the current system fits today’s world
- The emotional load parents carry (ugh, the homework battles!)
If you’ve ever:
- Felt guilty for not knowing how to help with homework
- Wondered if school teaches life skills
- Or just needed a wine and a vent with fellow parents…
…this one’s for you!
Featuring botanical gin from HeyLow!
Hosted by two Aussie mums who say what you’re really thinking.
