EP 51 | Is the Education System Stuck?

A few weeks ago, I shared a post on Instagram that struck a nerve by giving voice to something many of us had been quietly carrying: the feeling that something isn't sitting right in education right now (check out the post here).

In this opening episode of The Bigger Than Behaviour Series, I unpack the thoughts, questions, and grief that inspired the series in the first place. I ponder what happens when children, families, educators, and leaders are all struggling, but we're too busy pointing fingers to see the bigger picture.

You'll hear: ✨ Why labelling my feelings as grief allowed me to get a good sense of the tension I'm carrying ✨ The blame cycle that keeps showing up in conversations about children, families, educators, and schools ✨ Why behaviour has never felt simple enough to be explained by a single cause ✨ What happens when children's circumstances change, but our systems don't ✨ The question I can't stop asking: is the education system stuck? ✨ Why I haven't yet reached the point of sheer hopelessness

This episode is a little different from my usual content. It's personal, vulnerable, and probably raises more questions than it answers. If you've ever found yourself wondering whether it's just you, whether anyone else is carrying these thoughts, or whether education feels harder than it used to, I think you'll find yourself in this conversation.
