This will be controversial. I am okay with that. Because the bigger risk to me is raising a child on autopilot in a world that is transforming at lightning speed. AI is already changing how businesses are built, how teams operate and what skills are valuable. Yet many education models still prioritise memorisation, compliance and standardisation. As a founder, I simply cannot ignore that mismatch. So I am experimenting. Learning. Adjusting in real time. This is not about having all the answers. It is about being brave enough to ask better questions about the future our kids are walking into. What skills do you believe will matter most in the next 20 years? Lisa xx ❤️🫶✨

Schools, from start to finish, have it all wrong... How dare colleges and universities claim to certify adults to work with young children and completely disregard, not emphasize, and not prioritize the critical importance of understanding brain development, secure relationships, and play?! These factors along with shelter, nutrition, and hygeine are the the most paramount and influential for young children - not only in the present moment, but for the trajectory of their lives. Unfortunately, because many teachers aren't being trained properly in these areas, we perpetuate a cycle of premature academics and premature independence, all of which are developmentally Inappropriate and hurting our children. This isnt just a problem with the school systems, but politicians as well. The education system is simply backwards and broken, and truly needs a massive overhaul, especially when it comes to early childhood.

🧠 MUSIC IS BRAIN TRAINING — NOT JUST A HOBBY Most parents think extra homework boosts intelligence… but science says otherwise. Music does what worksheets can’t. Researchers have found that just ONE year of music lessons can create measurable growth in the areas of the brain responsible for: ✨ Memory ✨ Emotional regulation ✨ Language development ✨ Focus & attention ✨ IQ and problem-solving Why? Because rhythm, melody, and coordination activate both hemispheres of the brain at the same time — something schoolwork rarely does. It’s literally a full-brain workout. Kids who learn an instrument show: ✔ Bigger vocabulary ✔ Faster processing speed ✔ Better emotional control ✔ Higher academic performance ✔ Stronger social skills And the best part? They’re not “studying.” They’re enjoying it — while their brain rewires itself for a stronger future. 🎵 If you want to boost a child’s brain development, give them music — not more stress.

Finland has built one of the most successful education systems in the world by removing unnecessary pressure from students. Instead of relying on national standardized exams, the country allows teachers to assess students through ongoing individual evaluation. This creates a calm and supportive classroom environment where children feel encouraged to learn. Even with shorter school days and very little homework, Finnish students continue to perform at the top in international rankings. Experts credit this to a strong focus on critical thinking, creativity and real understanding. Teachers are required to complete advanced training, which gives them the freedom and confidence to design lessons that fit their students. The Finnish approach shows that academic success does not come from long hours or heavy stress. By focusing on well being, balanced learning and joy in education, Finland proves that students learn best when they feel safe, rested and motivated.

America’s children seem to be struggling. But the broad national conversation around children’s mental health seems to ignore the environment where children spend most of their waking hours: school, writes Jia Lynn Yang. https://nyti.ms/3M7KZgh

Här blir AI vardag – i Europas bäst rankade skola I Sverige vill regeringen att skolan ska gå från skärm till pärm. Men i Europas bäst presterande PISA-land, Estland, satsar man stenhårt på AI och skärmar. – Varför skulle vi inte utnyttja de möjligheter som AI ger oss? säger Aija Sprivul-Dautancourt, fransklärare på Miina Härma Güm...

John Taylor Gatto spent 30 years inside classrooms—and then blew the whistle on the very system he once served. He argued the school system isn’t “broken”… it’s built to create obedient workers, not free thinkers. His work exposes how schooling kills curiosity, enforces conformity, and prepares kids for compliance over creativity. If you’ve ever felt something’s off with modern education, Gatto’s words will shake you awake.

The world has changed. Schools have not. So many parents are waking up to the other options available for education. The one-size-fits-all education days are over. This movement is much bigger than just the schools I’ve co-founded, it’s a worldwide movements where parents are seeing what’s possible. Kids are limitless and it’s our job to unlock that potential.

”Skadliga och olagliga förslag” DEBATT. Det finns ingen anledning att diskriminera vinstdrivande skolor genom att rikta särskilda förbud och regleringar just mot dem. Det skriver företrädare för Svenskt Näringsliv.
