Episode 24: The Rise of Home Schooling - Why and How

Home schooling is on the rise in Australia and the world. Some parents just want to meet their children's individual needs. Others want their children out of a classroom where teachers struggle to give their best to every student due to the vast range of student abilities in the one room. Whatever the reason, the sector provides opportunities for both parents and teachers seeking a change.

Episode 20: The rise of Gender Dysphoria in Australian schools

Gender Dysphoria is increasingly prevalent in Australian schools with one Sydney school having 50% of students openly 'transitioning'. Yet is this a legitimate health problem to be treated with puberty blockers, hormones and surgery, or the result of childhood trauma, and parents who can't say no.

Trauma Informed Teaching is an important education initiative in Australia. Yet with teachers so overloaded with impossible expectations, many see it as just another thing to make their life hell.
