Throughout Australia, schools are creating ‘Queer Clubs’ to push LGBTQA ideas. One school in Victoria has a ‘Queer Club’ for 8-12 year olds. While cult-infected State Departments of Education seemingly don’t care what the majority of parents think, the pushback has well and truly begun. Phil talks to Celine Against the Machine and Maya Tesa about eSafety, censorship, and the parents walking away from public education.

As Australia’s education ranking tanks, a change in the school funding system is well overdue. If Australia is ever going to be the smart country, equal per-child funding, together with greater parental choice must be top of mind. A fair and equal funding model, in addition to UK style ‘Free Schools’, would give parents, teachers and students a place where learning matches family values. They would be a tonic for Australia’s disillusioned teachers and angry parents doing battle against the forces of woke mediocrity.

Teacher training spends a great deal of time on diversity, inclusion and equity, yet omits probably the most important component of education: The neuroscience of learning.
This episode takes you through the basic science of learning and retention. It looks at a school exercise program called ‘SPARK’ started in 2008 by Dr John Ratey that continues to change the way many schools in the USA operate.
We then talk to Ben Couchman, a fitness and exercise expert as to how to motivate and keep young people active to improve their school results, lift their mood and keep anxiety away.

Australia’s National Curriculum, designed by the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA), has been described as “shockingly poor” by one media outlet and “a problem” by education consultants.

The neuroscience of learning has been ignored by teacher training courses in Australia yet is a lynchpin of effective education.

We talk with CLT practitioner Sam Sterrett from Scotch College in Western Australia about what CLT means for the teaching profession.

Generation Alpha are those born between 2010 and 2024. Most students in Australia under year 10 are Generation Alpha.

Old style teacher unions are losing members in Australia.

The first in our MINI series. Everything you need to know from Episode 33 in 10 minutes!
Gender ideology is in Australia’s school system and is now taught by classroom teachers or 3rd party providers. Children are learning that they can be born into the wrong body, or that they can transition to the other gender or no gender at all. How can parents protect their children from this confusing and anti-science ideology? We speak to Kat Karena and Rae Clark about the programs and how to ensure your child’s learning matches your family values.

Gender ideology has infiltrated Australia’s school system and is now part of accredited programs taught by classroom teachers or 3rd party providers. Children are learning that they can be born into the wrong body, or that they can transition to the other gender or no gender at all, alongside topics like consent, respect, dating and resilience. How can parents protect their children from this confusing and anti-science ideology? Is resistance possible? We speak to Kat Karena and Rae Clark about the programs and how to ensure your child’s learning matches your family values.

The gradual creep of gender ideology into schools is seeing more and more students consider themselves ‘transgender’. While most teachers will hopefully never confront this, others are scared of losing their job if they utter the wrong pronouns or air their personal views. A teacher in New Zealand has already been sacked for refusing to use preferred pronouns. Australian teachers should be very wary, and very informed.

Most older teachers learned explicit and direct instruction (EDI) during teacher training in the 70’s and 80’s. However, many younger teachers have never heard of it. As policymakers grapple with the knowledge decline in Australia’s youth, it’s groundhog day for EDI in the ‘lucky’ country.

Direct instruction teaching hasn’t been popular with education departments or teacher training institutions in Australia, but the tide is turning. The Michaela School in the UK is a leading example of how setting clear expectations, strong boundaries and solid principles of teaching can be of enormous benefit. The results are happy students, dedicated teachers and top academic performance. We interview Katharine Birbalsingh, the Principal.

Home schooling is on the rise in Australia and the world. Some parents just want to meet their children's individual needs.

2022 has been a dark year for Australian education and medicine. School student behaviour is poor. The future of traumatized youth is being threatened by 'gender specialists'. The impact on education is huge and a difficult nuance for jaded teachers. Even the LGBTQIA+ community are split and seeking answers. We finish the year with a look at dark times.

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.

Teachers accept inclusive education when it comes to race, religion, gender, sexual identity or belief. Disability inclusion is also fine as most students with a disability can be taught in mainstream schools. However, when a student's disability disrupts the education of others, generates behavior problems or creates an unsafe environment for other students and staff, it's time to re-evaluate. This discussion is uncomfortable, yet globally important.
