The kids have just gone back to school.
So we're loving that.
Actually, no, the truth is, right, we're in exam time.
And you know how I feel about exams.
I don't believe they should exist.
And you know how I feel about school.
I believe it should be revolutionized.
Whereas Harriet, my wife, is like hardcore into the revision.
So we keep on having these same conversations where she's like,
Why don't you care about the exams as much as I do?
So I have to then pretend that I'm caring about the exams and get the kids to do revision of nonsense subjects that I don't think they're ever going to make use of in their life.
But it teaches them hard work, right?
And there's a value in that.
It's actually a good point.
And I am being pretty facetious.
Like, I like the fact that the kids are in this point in their life.
So Flo's now 13, just turned 13, Seb's 10.
We're now able to have proper conversations with them about, like, you can sit in that exam in three weeks and,
and think why didn't i prep and walk out feeling disappointed and all of your mates will be going yeah i think it was easy and you're secretly thinking it was hard or you can learn now at a really young age the importance of preparation of positioning as shane parish would have called it on high performance when he joined us um and that if you do the work now then on the exam on the exam day you can just relax it can be actually a nice day at school having an exam right because you've done the work yeah exactly and and how are they responding to that
Just ignoring me.
