This week Pete (@mr_van_w) and John (@jfcatto) are joined by returning guests Tom and Matt (@smedboule). They discuss the HSC, IB and UK models of schooling and when and where Living Skills should be taught to students.

The big question: Are we able to approach Living Skills from a position of privilege, where we can assume that students are to be taught these skills from their parents?
