In this episode of “Parenting, apparently,” Esther and Melissa rethink what school really offers kids. From exploring the differences between the Belgian and Canadian education systems to imagining what they would change as school principals, they dig into homework, academic pressure, and what kids actually need from school to thrive.
Is it better to hold kids back as often as Belgian schools, or push them through like those in Canada? Is homework as important as hobbies after a long school day? Is it better to have the diversity and life experience of public school or the extra support of a private institution?
Drawing on their personal experiences as kids in school and as parents now navigating these systems, they unpack what they think is supporting kids, and what needs to be retired. It’s a thoughtful conversation about education, childhood, and how school shapes us, while questioning how much children learn within the walls of a classroom versus everything they learn outside of it.
