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.
