Mackenzie, Sonia and I are extremely excited about this conversation today.
Let's start off.
Can you explain why the traditional education system is failing our kids?
I hated it.
Totally.
Look, I think you're taking the entire audience back to their schooling years right now.
You've taken me back as well.
And what I remember now is that when I was in English class and I was in a higher level English class, I was kind of the king of the classroom, right?
Because they would say, come up and do an oral.
I would stand up.
I would love being at the front and talking to the class and kind of presenting to the room.
In mathematics, I was the failure in the class and I was kind of shunned to the back and always a bit like, that was where I was embarrassed.
So I would go through school some days feeling great and sometimes feeling like an absolute failure.
So I guess, is that what you're working on now?
Six hours is just so long when you think about that, just to sit there and be bored and get distracted.
And then the kid gets sent out of the classroom and everyone laughs at that kid.
And it's this whole like dance that you go through.
Australia is really behind.
I'm sure America is going through this too, but Australia is even further behind.
