Why do we even send kids to school?

from Wine Chats Podcast Hosted by Billi & Lyndsey

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. 🎧 Listen now & join the convo!
