The Truth About Australia’s Education System... And How to Protect Your Child From It


Listen Later

Hey legend,


A few weeks ago, I went on what can only be described as a passionate rage on Instagram.


It started with a news article about a new pilot program in WA introducing full-time school for four-year-olds...


 And ended with my DMs full of stories, questions, and a whole lot of parents saying: “I feel like the system is breaking my kid.”


So, I recorded one of the longest, most personal, most important episodes I’ve ever done —


 and then realised it was too big to fit into one week.


So I’ve split it.


🎧 This week: Part One — Why I Believe the Australian Education System is Broken.


I’m breaking down:



  • The shocking stats on teacher burnout and student wellbeing
  • Why our current system isn’t working (for kids, teachers or families)
  • What we can learn from countries like Finland and Denmark
  • And why starting school earlier might actually be hurting our kids, not helping them


This one is equal parts research, rage, and raw truth.

 If you’re a parent, teacher, or anyone who gives a damn about the next generation — this one’s for you.


Next week, I’ll be answering listener questions and diving into alternative models like Montessori, Steiner, homeschooling, and how to actually choose the right approach for your child.


But for now…

 Start with Part One.


Because it’s time we stop saying “it could be worse” — and start demanding better.


Big love,

 B 🤍
