Schools are pushing our children harder than ever, and yet numeracy and literacy scores are going backwards.
So the question is… How can we take matters into our own hands and set our children up for a life where they enjoy the process rather than constantly racing to the finish line?

Some of the questions we explored are:
What’s really holding teachers back in the education system in Australia, and how can it be fixed?
