ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Does School Actually Prepare Our Kids for Real Life?
Are we preparing our children for exams… or are we preparing them for life?
This week on Backstage & Beyond, we're asking a question that we think every parent has probably wondered at some point: Is the school system really giving our children the skills they need for the real world?
From GCSE pressure and neurodiversity to money management, first aid, friendships and the fear of secondary school, we're questioning whether education needs a bit of a shake-up!
We get personal about our own school experiences, the anxieties we carry as parents, and whether we're sometimes projecting our own fears onto our children.
And, of course, we ask the big question… If we could design our own school, what would we actually teach?
Expect honest opinions, a few controversial conversations, plenty of laughs and probably a few things you'll completely disagree with us on!
We're not education experts. We're just two mums, dance teachers and business owners having an open conversation about the future of our children.
Now we want to hear from YOU!
What is ONE thing you wish you'd been taught at school?
And if you're a teacher or work in education, we'd especially love to hear your perspective!
Listen, share and join the conversation.
Backstage & Beyond — real conversations, real life, no filters.
