Being Different with Liz Durham

108. Homework Isn’t the Problem… It’s How We’re Forcing Kids to Learn


Listen Later

It’s just me today, and yes… we’re talking about homework again. But this time, I’m not just venting, I’m actually getting to the root of why it bothers me so much.

Because I don’t think this is about worksheets or math pages. I think it’s about how we’re trying to force every kid into the same mold, and what happens when they don’t fit it. 

In this episode, I break down the difference between kids who thrive in structured, detail-oriented environments and the ones who are wired completely differently… the ones who need to move, build, explore, and learn in a way that doesn’t involve sitting still for eight hours a day.

This is me trying to put words to something a lot of kids feel but don’t know how to say. They’re not “problems.” They’re just different.

And if we don’t start paying attention to that, we’re going to keep crushing the very traits that might matter most later in life.

If you agree, disagree, or think I’m completely off here… I want to hear it.
