    Is the Education System Failing Your Child? Hear the truth from an Ex-Teacher
    2024/10/08
    Schools are pushing our children harder than ever, and yet numeracy and literacy scores are going backwards. So the question is… How can we take matters into our own hands and set our children up for a life where they enjoy the process rather than constantly racing to the finish line? In today’s episode, I sit down with Breanna May, mindset educator and founder of The Mind School. We dive into her journey from being a high school literature teacher to founding her own business, exploring how the broken education system is affecting teachers and students alike. Breanna May shares the shocking moment she decided to leave teaching, where schooling is failing our children, and how we can take matters into our own hands. Some of the questions we explored are: What’s really holding teachers back in the education system in Australia, and how can it be fixed? Are standardised tests doing more harm than good? What are the most impactful ways that we as parents can help our children? What essential skills are our children missing out on? … and SO much more. Check out The Emotional Wheel here.
