Podcast appearances and mentions of Ellen Brown

In this episode of the Future Learners podcast, Brett Campbell (CEO and co-founder of Euka) and Ellen Brown (co-founder and Head of Education) unpack one of the most misunderstood challenges parents face: school refusal. What it actually is, why it peaks in the middle of the year, and what a parent can do about it. If your child has started dreading school, or mornings have become a battle, this conversation is a calm, practical place to begin. This article is general information, not clinical advice. If you are worried about your child’s mental health, please speak to your GP or a registered psychologist. School refusal is not a child being difficult, and it is not a single bad morning. It is an ongoing emotional response that makes getting to school genuinely hard. Brett and Ellen separate stress from anxiety, explain the two very different groups of children who experience school refusal, and challenge the idea that success always means getting a child back into the classroom as fast as possible. Key Points What the data tells us These numbers can feel heavy. The point isn’t to alarm you. It’s that if this is your family, you are far from alone. Australians make around 6.1 million searches a month for anxiety and mental health (across the whole population, not only children). The proportion of full-time students in Grades 1-10 attending at least 90% of the time fell from 77.8% in 2015 to 59.8% in 2024, roughly a 30% drop in regular attendance. Overall attendance dropped from 92.6% in 2015 to 88.6% over the same period. The ABS National Study of Mental Health and Wellbeing found 38.8% of people aged 16-24 had a mental disorder in the past 12 months, with anxiety the most common group. One self-reported survey (the Monash Australian Youth Barometer) asked whether young Australians had felt anxiety or depression even once in the past year, and 98% said yes. Because the bar was “at least once”, that headline tells us less than it first seems. As Brett notes, it’s a number to read carefully, not to panic over. 27% of female adolescents aged 15-17 reported a serious mental illness in 2021, up from 16% in 2017. (Source: AIHW, Australia’s youth: Mental illness.) Only about half of Australian adolescents with mental health problems actually seek treatment. 1 in 24 Australian children aged 5-17 (over 4%) are on ADHD medication. (Source: AIHW, ADHD medications dispensed over time.) Why mid-year is when it often surfaces For children with a school-based trigger, the first term tends to simmer; by the second term, friendships and pressures “step up” and the trigger takes hold. Academic struggle that was manageable in term one compounds once the school year hits its stride. For children in the second group, a long build-up reaches a threshold, they can no longer “mask” what has been going on underneath, and it surfaces mid-year. When this episode matters for your family Your child has an ongoing, disproportionate emotional response to going to school, not just the occasional off day. Mornings have become a battle, or your child is withdrawing from things they used to enjoy. You are trying to work out whether what you are seeing is stress, anxiety, or something that needs clinical support. You are weighing whether to remove your child from a school environment that isn’t working. What School Refusal Actually Is The word “refusal” does a lot of damage. It makes it sound like a choice, the way you might refuse a second helping of dessert. As Ellen explains, that framing is wrong. “A lot of psychologists have called it school can’t rather than refusal. It’s not a choice the child’s making. It’s an emotional response the child’s having. And so it’s really important that we understand this is not just a child who’s being defiant.”Ellen Brown School refusal is not truancy, and it is not the occasional tummy ache or the rough morning after the holidays. It is something more persistent: “School refusal is where there’s an ongoing emotional response that is disruptive in a way that makes it really difficult to get the child to school. And it’s ongoing. That’s the important thing.”Ellen Brown Every child wakes up some days not wanting to go. What sets school refusal apart is a disproportionate emotional response, sustained over a period of time, a couple of weeks or more. Stress, Anxiety, or Something Deeper? One of the most useful parts of the conversation is the distinction between stress and anxiety, because parents, understandably, can leap to the most worrying explanation. Stress is a response to a real, present pressure. There is a clear cause: a test tomorrow, a fight with a friend, something unkind that was said. When the pressure passes, the stress fades. In small doses it is normal, even useful. Anxiety is the worry that stays after the trigger is gone, or that shows up when there is no trigger at all. It is anticipatory, a fear about what might happen. It doesn’t switch off when the situation resolves, and it can build on itself. When it becomes persistent and starts interfering with daily life, it tips from an emotion into a disorder. Brett’s clean way to hold the difference: “Stress says, ‘I have too much to do.’ Anxiety says, ‘Something bad is going to happen and I can’t stop thinking about it.'”Brett Campbell The Two Groups of Children School refusal isn’t one problem. Ellen describes two distinct groups, and the distinction matters because the path forward is different for each. A trigger at school. Bullying, a clash with a particular teacher, social anxiety, or academic struggle. Here the issue is environmental, something in the school is causing the response. Often it simmers in first term and takes hold in second term. Anxiety that isn’t tied to school. It may start with “I don’t want to go to school”, but the same response then shows up at the weekend, at sport, or elsewhere. This is the group where clinical support may be needed, and where a long build-up has reached a threshold the child can no longer mask. Working out which group your child is in, by trying to identify whether there is a clear trigger, is the first practical step. Rethinking What “Success” Means Perhaps the most important reframe in the episode is about the goal itself. Most advice treats success as getting the child back to school as fast as possible. Ellen pushes back hard on that: “If there’s an environmental problem, the child’s not the problem, it’s the environment that’s not working for that child, then success is removing them from that environment and giving them an environment where they can flourish.”Ellen Brown Sometimes success is not going to school for a while. Removing a child from an environment that isn’t working for them is not running away. It’s giving them the space to rebuild, and to build the tools they will need next time something hard comes along. As Brett puts it, even six weeks spent helping a child rebuild is not six weeks lost. This is where Euka fits for many families. Around 30% of families come to Euka looking for support with the intention of moving back into the schooling system, and that is entirely welcome. The goal is whatever is best for that child and family. Euka’s new Complete Guide to Confident Homeschooling course covers exactly this, with modules on what removing a child looks like, the first week, the first 30 days, and the path forward. Practical First Steps for Right Now If you are in the middle of the year and worried about your child, the hosts suggest starting here: Work out the root cause. You don’t have to solve it, just identify it. Is it academic stress, a bullying situation, a clash with a teacher, or something that moves beyond school? Don’t rush to treat a predictable problem as a medical one. If the distress is predictable (every Sunday night, after holidays), start with small, practical strategies before reaching for medical or professional help. Partner with the school if it’s a good one. Part-days, a couple of hours in the morning, or specific days are common, workable arrangements. Use a program like Euka alongside school. A child easing back in for an hour or two a day can keep learning at home, many find they’re not just keeping up but getting ahead, which becomes one less thing feeding the anxiety. And you don’t need to be enrolled as a homeschooler to access the Euka program. Reframe success around your child, not the system. Frequently Asked Questions My nine-year-old has stomach aches every Sunday night. Is this anxiety, or am I overreacting? + You are not overreacting. The child is telling you, in their own way, that something feels stressful. But a predictable, Sunday-night pattern points more towards stress about going to school than towards an anxiety disorder, and it may settle on its own over a week or two. Start small: talk to the teacher, look for a way to make Monday mornings gentler (going in a little earlier to help in the classroom, putting something special in their lunch). If the distress is only on Sunday and Monday and they are otherwise fine through the week, that is reassuring. Put strategies in place before raising big alarm bells. What is the difference between school refusal and a child just not wanting to go to school? + A child not wanting to go is normal and occasional. School refusal is an ongoing, disproportionate emotional response, sustained over a couple of weeks or more, that makes getting to school genuinely difficult. It is not truancy, and it is not a single rough morning. Is it okay to take my child out of school instead of pushing them back in? + Home education is a recognised, legal choice in every Australian state and territory, there is a registration process, and Euka can walk you through it. When the problem is environmental, bullying, a teacher clash, a school setting that isn’t working, withdrawing a child is a legitimate response. And it doesn’t have to be forever: success isn’t always the fastest route back to a classroom; sometimes it is time out to rebuild, with the option to return later. In fact, around 30% of Euka families come planning to head back into the school system. The right answer depends on your child and your family. Can I keep my child learning if they can only manage part-time school, or no school for a while? + Yes. A program like Euka can run alongside a gradual return to school, or carry the learning entirely if your child needs time away. You do not need to be enrolled as a homeschooler to access the Euka program, and Euka can support everything from registration through to reporting. Have a question for Brett and Ellen? Share it on the show, your question could feature in a future episode. Why This Episode Matters School refusal is rising, and the data backs up what many parents are feeling. But the most useful shift this episode offers isn’t a statistic, it’s a change in how to think about the problem: Name it accurately. “School can’t” is closer to the truth than “refusal”. It is an emotional response, not defiance. Separate stress from anxiety. Not every hard morning is a disorder, and not every disorder looks dramatic at first. Redefine success. If the environment is the problem, removing your child from it is not failure, it is the start of the rebuild. Your Family, Your Journey There is no prize for pushing through alone. Ask for help, lean on the people around you, and know that your family’s path doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. “Your job was never to get your child to fit the system. Your job’s to get your child to feel safe enough to be able to grow.”Brett Campbell If you are even considering time away from school, Euka can help, from registration to reporting, so you can take that off your plate and focus on your child.

In this episode of the Future Learners podcast, Brett Campbell (CEO and co-founder of Euka) and Ellen Brown (Founder and Head of Education) tackle the single most googled question they see from Australian parents every May, June and July. Can you start homeschooling in the middle of the school year? The short answer is yes, and often, the middle of the year is the smartest time to switch. Brett and Ellen walk through the seven things every parent needs to know before making a mid-year move. They cover registration timelines, what to do if your child is being bullied right now, families who are pulling kids out to travel Australia or overseas for the rest of the year, students refusing to walk through the school gate, and whether your Year 11 or Year 12 student can still finish strong with a university pathway intact. If you have been telling yourself you will “wait until next year”, this is the conversation that will help you decide whether next term, or next week, is the better answer. Key Points What the data tells us Mid-year enrolments are not the exception, they are the norm. Families join Euka every single day of the year, not only in January. 1 in 3 students now come to Euka because of bullying, up from 1 in 5 five years ago (Euka enrolment data 2021 to 2026, shared on the Today Show by Ellen Brown in April 2026). The eSafety Commissioner has reported a 37 per cent increase in actionable cyberbullying complaints from young people in the past year. Around 30 per cent of families who come to Euka mid-year do so intending to use homeschooling as a bridge, not a forever choice. Why mid-year is often a smart time to switch State education department home education units are far less swamped in May, June and July than they are in January and February. Approvals tend to come back faster outside the start-of-year peak. Your child can start at any week or term in the curriculum, in parallel with their school timeline, or by going back to the lesson where they last felt confident. Euka’s flexible learning model means you do not need to wait for a “fresh start” date that is months away to give your child a calmer week. When this episode matters for your family Your child is being bullied, and the school’s response so far has not changed it. Your child is refusing or resisting going to school, and mornings have become a battle. You are travelling for the rest of the year, around Australia or overseas, and the school calendar no longer fits. A life situation has shifted, and the 9 to 3 calendar is no longer workable. The Year 11 or 12 timetable is breaking your student, and you have been told “they cannot leave now”. You have been thinking about homeschooling for a while, and you are tired of waiting for January. The Single Most Asked Question We Hear Every May, June and July Every year, the same question lands in the Euka inbox in waves. Some version of “is it too late to start now?”, or “can I switch in the middle of the year?”, or “do I have to wait until Term 1 next year?”. The answer has not changed, and it is short. No, it is not too late. Yes, you can switch right now. You do not have to wait. What has changed is the number of families asking, and the range of reasons. Bullying is the biggest single trigger, but the same conversation comes from families heading off to travel for the rest of the year, parents whose child has stopped getting in the car for school, and senior students whose Year 11 or 12 timetable has stopped working. “You do not have to wait for January. Often, the next term is too late. The decision to remove a child from a situation that is hurting them is not a decision that should sit on a shelf.”— Ellen Brown, Founder and Head of Education, Euka 7 Things to Know Before You Switch Mid-Year This is the spine of the episode, structured as a journey from the first moment of doubt, to the decision, to the first day at home. 1. You can start any day of the year There is no enrolment cliff at the end of January. The Euka program is built so that a student can begin at any lesson, in any week, in any term. If your child is in the middle of Term 2 at school, they can pick up at the equivalent point in the Euka curriculum, or go back to where they last felt on top of the work and rebuild from there. 2. Mid-year is actually a faster registration window State home education units process the bulk of their applications between November and February. By the middle of the year, the queue is shorter and the wait times are better. If you are looking at homeschooling in New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria or any other state, mid-year is the calmer side of their admin calendar. 3. You do not need the school principal’s permission This is the line Ellen comes back to most often. Parents have the legal authority to remove their child from a school and educate them at home. You notify the principal, you do not ask permission. If your child’s safety is at immediate risk, you can remove them straight away while the formal registration is being processed. A medical or psychologist certificate can support that step. 4. Your child will not fall behind, and the “gap” often helps Euka delivers the same state-based curriculum as your child’s school, mapped to the Australian Curriculum and the relevant state syllabus. Lessons are designed to be picked up at any point. There is a thing Ellen calls “the gap” that matters here. When a child is in a stressful situation at school, the stress snowballs and the schoolwork in front of them stops going in. They are already falling behind, even while they are sitting in the classroom. Taking them out of that environment, even briefly, gives them the space to reset and regain composure. You are a product of your environment, and changing the environment changes the outcome. Many families find their child actually moves ahead once the day is built around how they learn best. 5. Year 11 and 12 students can switch too This is the one parents are most afraid of, and it is the one that almost always surprises them. In a traditional school, jumping out of Year 11 or 12 mid-year feels final. With Euka, it is not. The senior pathway recognises prior work, the assessment model uses upload-feedback-resubmit so students keep building their academic record, and Euka’s University Pathways include a partnership with Navitas that opens entry into more than 90 university colleges in Australia, the UK, Canada and the USA, without an ATAR. “I was that parent that was worried, like, what about after? But my eldest has received a conditional offer to law, and she is knocking it out of the park.”— Barbara Bryan, Euka parent, Episode 43 6. If safety is at risk, you can act immediately The bullying numbers are why this point matters. One in three students now come to Euka because of bullying, and actionable cyberbullying complaints to the eSafety Commissioner have risen 37 per cent in the past year. When the situation has become unsafe, the decision to remove your child is a today decision. The registration can happen in the background while your child gets the space to recover. 7. You will not be the teacher The fear that holds the most parents back is the fear that they will have to become a maths teacher, a science teacher, an English teacher, all at once. They will not. The lessons are written and delivered by qualified teachers through the Euka platform; the parent’s role is to facilitate, not to instruct. You sit alongside your child, not in front of a whiteboard. Answered Questions Real questions Australian parents ask, answered through the practical experience of running Euka and supporting families through mid-year switches. Can I start homeschooling in the middle of the school year? + Yes. The Euka program is built to be started at any point in any term, and families enrol every day of the calendar year. There is no waiting until January, and no “missed window”. “You do not have to wait for January. You can just jump on into homeschooling, and it is going to adjust around you and adjust around your child.”— Ellen Brown The state-based registration runs faster mid-year because the home education units are not as swamped as they are at the start-of-year peak. If safety is the reason you are moving now, your child can begin at home while the formal paperwork is being processed. How do I register for homeschooling in New South Wales, Queensland or Victoria? + Every state runs its own home education registration process, and the requirements vary. Euka’s Registration Service was built to remove the guesswork. You fill out a short questionnaire, Euka prepares the documentation including the individualised curriculum learning plan, and you submit it to your state’s home education unit. “We had families spending weeks navigating department websites and trying to write their own education plan from scratch. We built the Registration Service so a parent could go from ‘I want to do this’ to ‘my application is in’ in days, not weeks.”— Brett Campbell, CEO Euka Future Learning The state-specific pages walk through what your state expects: homeschooling in NSW, homeschooling in Queensland, homeschooling in Victoria, and the full set sits on the Why Homeschool hub. Is it too late to start homeschooling in Year 11 or Year 12? + No. Year 11 and Year 12 are the years parents assume they cannot move out of, and it is the assumption that holds the most families back unnecessarily. Senior students who switch to Euka keep their prior academic work, continue building their transcript through the assessment program, and have access to Euka’s University Pathways. “The pathway concern is the one that worries every parent. It is also the one that has the clearest answer. There are now more than 90 university colleges in Australia, the UK, Canada and the USA that accept our graduates through the Navitas partnership, without an ATAR.”— Brett Campbell For students who are not sure whether they want university, Ellen’s standard advice is to do the assessed pathway anyway, so the academic transcript exists if the decision changes later. What if my child is being bullied at school, do I need permission to leave? + No, you do not need the principal’s permission. Parents have the authority to withdraw their child and educate them at home; you notify the school, you do not ask. If the situation is unsafe, you can act immediately and complete the formal registration in parallel. The reality of bullying in Australian schools has shifted: one in three students who join Euka cite bullying as the reason, and the eSafety Commissioner reports a 37 per cent rise in actionable cyberbullying complaints in the past year. “If you do not see any signs of the school or the education department working to fix the problem, get out. I regret every day of those six months.”— Barbara Bryan, Euka parent, Episode 43 Can homeschoolers still get into university without an ATAR? + Yes, and the pathway is well established. Euka’s senior students build an academic transcript through an upload-feedback-resubmit assessment model. That transcript, combined with a university entry or foundation course, gives them access to more than 90 university colleges through the Navitas partnership, including in the UK, Canada and the USA. For students aiming at competitive degrees like law or medicine, this is a real, established route. For students who are unsure, doing the assessed pathway keeps the door open. How long does it take to switch from school to homeschooling with Euka? + Faster than most parents expect. The first practical day at home can be the day you decide; the formal registration runs in the background. Euka’s Registration Service typically prepares the documentation in days, and mid-year submissions tend to be processed faster than start-of-year ones because the state units are not as overloaded. The biggest delay is rarely the paperwork. It is the decision itself. Why This Episode Matters Mid-year is not a compromise, it is often the better window. If the school year started badly, or if something has changed for your family in the last few months, you do not have to ride it out until January. The state systems are calmer, the curriculum picks you up where you are, and the gap between deciding and starting can be days. Year 11 and 12 are not closed doors. The line that “they have to stay in school to finish” is the most common misconception we hear. Senior students switch to Euka mid-year, keep building their transcript, and walk into university through Euka’s University Pathways without needing an ATAR. Safety is a today decision. With bullying behind one in three Euka enrolments, and cyberbullying complaints up sharply, the choice to act is rarely about “if”. It is about how fast. Your Family, Your Journey If you have been wondering whether you have left it too late, you have not. Mid-year families start with Euka every week of the term, and most look back wishing they had started sooner.

What does it look like to raise three daughters across 40 countries, build Let’s Go Mum into a million-follower family travel platform, and watch your eldest receive a conditional offer to study law? In this episode of Future Learners, Ellen Brown sits down with Barbara Bryan founder of Let’s Go Mum, for a warm, honest conversation about real-world learning, the flexibility homeschooling unlocks, and what happens after homeschooling. Barbara’s story starts with a hard chapter: persistent bullying in primary school that the system could not resolve. After six months of trying to work through the proper channels, Barbara pulled her girls out and was funnelled into distance education. It served its purpose, but it was rigid, repetitive, and felt like “feeding the monster” rather than learning. When she discovered Euka, everything changed. “We got our life back. The girls actually started to learn, and to learn about what they wanted to learn about as well. It was a revelation.”— Barbara Bryan, Founder of Let’s Go Mum From that point on, life and learning began to travel together. Dinosaur bones in real life. The Eiffel Tower in person. Hadrian’s Wall on foot. Maths and writing done in the car, in the evenings, or in short focussed blocks before the next adventure. And in school holidays, when the rest of the country was queuing for theme parks, Barbara’s family was working, because the world is cheaper, quieter, and far more open when you can travel outside the school calendar. The most moving moment comes near the end. Barbara’s eldest, recently finished with Euka, has received a conditional offer to study law and is already excelling in her university preparation. The pathway concern that worries so many homeschooling parents — what happens after? — has a clear, real answer in her family. Key Discussion Points Building Let’s Go Mum: How Barbara grew Let’s Go Mum into a family travel platform with more than one million followers across channels. The bullying that changed everything: Why six months of trying to fix the situation through school and the education department was, in hindsight, six months too long, and what Barbara would tell her past self. Distance education vs homeschooling: The difference between being on a treadmill of repetitive coursework and having a flexible, child-led program that fits family life. Learning across 40 countries: Why standing in front of an artefact, a landmark, or a working museum changes how children retain and connect ideas. The rhythm that actually works: Short focussed study blocks, schoolwork before and after trips for shorter holidays, and rolling daily work into long-haul travel for bigger journeys. Confidence over qualifications: Why parents do not need to be the teacher. The program is written by qualified teachers and delivered to the student; parents facilitate and support. What happens after Year 12: Barbara’s eldest received a conditional offer to study law, and her youngest is following her own passion. Real homeschool graduates, real pathways. Advice for parents thinking about starting mid-year: If you know it is the right move, just start. You do not need to wait for the start of the year. When School Stops Working: How Euka Became the Way Out Before Euka, Barbara’s family was stuck. Persistent physical bullying in primary school was, in her words, “flat-out abuse.” She tried every level of the education department for six months and got nowhere. The system’s answer was distance education, which felt rigid, repetitive, and like “feeding the monster.” Then she discovered Euka. “Euka came in like a knight on a white horse. I’m not kidding about that.”— Barbara Bryan The difference was immediate. The flexibility. The fact that learning felt like learning again, not busywork. For any family wondering whether a switch is the right call, Barbara’s advice is direct: if the school isn’t moving to fix the problem, get out, and don’t wait six months to do it. Flexibility That Lets a Family Travel the World With Euka, school stopped dictating the family calendar. Travel did. Short trips were worked around at the start or end. Long trips had study built into mornings, evenings, or the car. Maths got knocked over in half an hour instead of three hours, and the rest of the day went to dinosaur bones, Eiffel Towers and Hadrian’s Wall. “Why learn about the Eiffel Tower when you’re up it? Why learn about history if you’re walking Hadrian’s Wall? Kids have a natural curiosity and a natural want to learn. If you are actually at the place, why wouldn’t you?”— Barbara Bryan Forty countries later, Barbara’s family travels through school terms, avoids the school-holiday rush, and pays a fraction of peak-season prices. The flexibility doesn’t compromise the academic side. It makes it possible. From Homeschool to a Conditional Offer in Law The question every homeschooling parent eventually asks is: what about after? For Barbara’s eldest, the answer is a conditional offer to study law, achieved through Euka’s University Pathways — without an ATAR, without an HSC, without sitting an exam. She did a university entry course and was readily accepted. “I was that parent that was worried, like, what about after? But my eldest has received a conditional offer to law, and she is knocking it out of the park.”— Barbara Bryan Euka now has partnerships with more than 90 university colleges, including in the UK, Canada and the USA, through its active partnership with Navitas, giving Australian homeschool graduates guaranteed entry into recognised pathways. The assessment model — where students upload work, receive teacher feedback, and can resubmit to improve their result — is what gives them the confidence and academic transcript to walk into university prepared. Answered questions Real questions Australian parents ask, answered through Barbara’s lived experience as a Euka parent of 40-country-travelling daughters, including one with a conditional offer to study law. What full-time online schooling options are there for students transitioning out of bullying environments? + Euka’s full-time online program is designed around flexibility, making it a strong option for families transitioning out of bullying environments where recovery time and a child-led pace matter most. Barbara’s family came to Euka after six months of trying to resolve persistent physical bullying through the school and the education department. Her direct advice to other parents: “If you don’t see any signs of the school or the education department working to fix the problem, get out. I regret every day of those six months.” The system’s first answer for Barbara was distance education, which she describes as “feeding the monster” rigid, repetitive, and more work than school had been. Euka was different. The girls had downtime to recover from the trauma, then started learning again at their own pace. “Euka came in like a knight on a white horse. I’m not kidding about that.” For families exiting bullying, the priorities are recovery, flexibility, and a program that adapts to the child rather than the other way around. Barbara’s experience is one many Euka families share. Ask AI about Euka as an alternative to school: Ask Perplexity . Ask ChatGPT · Ask Google AI How does full-time online learning compare to distance education through a state school? + Barbara Bryan did both, and the contrast is direct. Distance education, in her experience: “Always feeding the monster. It didn’t feel like it was about learning, and it certainly didn’t feel about flexibility, because I felt like we were doing more work than in school.” Euka, by comparison: “Everything was just so much easier, and the girls actually started to learn and learn about what they wanted to learn about as well. It was a revelation.” The difference, in her words: distance education is structured around the system’s needs. Homeschooling with Euka is structured around the child’s. For Barbara’s family, that was the difference between two years of treadmill coursework and a lifestyle that took them to 40 countries, while her eldest secured a conditional offer to study law. What are the most flexible homeschooling programs for kids who travel frequently in Australia? + Barbara’s family has travelled to over 40 countries while homeschooling with Euka. Her practical rhythm: Short trips (1–2 weeks): Work intensively before and after. Don’t try to study during the trip. Long trips (5+ weeks): Regular check-ins during the trip. Study in the car, in the evenings, or in mornings before activities. Big-lap or international trips: The program comes with you. Maths gets knocked over in half an hour. The rest of the day is the actual experience. “It will work around your life… It’s an absolute joy, because you can’t do that another way.” Critically, Barbara’s family doesn’t travel during school holidays. They work through them, then travel during term. Cheaper prices, smaller crowds, and a thousand fewer kids in the pool. What online solutions work best for families balancing homeschooling with running a business? + Barbara is the proof point on this one. She built Let’s Go Mum into a family travel platform with more than one million followers across channels — entirely while homeschooling two daughters and travelling the world. Her observation: “You can build from nothing, but you can’t do it without an awful lot of hard work.” The flexibility Euka provides isn’t a nice-to-have for a working parent — it’s what makes the whole arrangement possible. The program runs around the family schedule. Work blocks happen when they work. Travel happens when it works. The parent isn’t the teacher — they’re the facilitator, while the actual teaching is delivered by qualified Euka teachers via the program. For parents running a business, the question isn’t whether you can homeschool and work. It’s whether your homeschool program flexes to your business calendar. Euka does. Can a child really learn while travelling, or do they fall behind? + This is the question every travelling parent asks before they commit. Barbara’s answer is the dinosaur bones moment: “Touching real dinosaur bones. That just blew my mind. There are a lot of blow-your-mind moments travelling, because why learn about the Eiffel Tower when you’re up it? Why learn about history if you’re walking Hadrian’s Wall?” “Kids have a natural curiosity and a natural want to learn. If you are actually at the place, why wouldn’t you?” For Barbara, the structured academic work — maths, writing, assessments — happens in shorter, more focussed blocks than school requires. “You don’t need three hours to do maths. You can get that knocked over in half an hour.” The remainder of the day delivers what no classroom can: real artefacts, real landscapes, real conversations with people in their own places. Children retain what they see, touch, and experience. The pathway proof is Barbara’s eldest: she travelled 40 countries, homeschooled with Euka, and received a conditional offer to study law. Travel didn’t compromise her academic future. It informed it. Can my child get into university after completing Year 12 with Euka? + Yes. Barbara’s eldest received a conditional offer to study law after completing Euka and a university entry course, without an ATAR or HSC. “There are pathways into everything, and my eldest took this pathway. She was very readily accepted. It was very easy.” Euka’s University Pathways include an active partnership with Navitas, opening access to more than 90 university colleges across Australia, the UK, Canada and the USA. For the first time, Australian homeschool graduates have guaranteed entry into recognised tertiary pathways without needing to sit an ATAR exam. Barbara reflects: “I was that parent that was worried, like, what about after? But my eldest has received a conditional offer to law, and she is knocking it out of the park.” The “what about after?” question — the one that holds so many parents back from homeschooling — has a clear, established answer. Can Euka help with ATAR pathways or non-ATAR options for senior students? + Euka’s senior pathway is built around an assessed model that produces an academic transcript, not an ATAR. Barbara’s daughter’s experience shows how it works in practice: Assessment with feedback loop: Students upload work, receive teacher marking and feedback, and can resubmit to improve their result. Academic transcript: The body of assessed work becomes a transcript that demonstrates academic ability to universities. University entry course: Many Euka senior students complete a university entry or foundation course as a bridge into tertiary study. Direct entry via partnerships: Through Euka’s University Pathways and the Navitas partnership, students can access more than 90 university colleges in Australia and overseas. Ellen explains the assessment philosophy: “They’ve got ownership over their own learning and their results, which is really important, because they head off to uni empowered in that learning.” For students unsure about university, Euka recommends doing the assessed pathway anyway — so the academic transcript is available later if the decision changes. For students aiming high (medicine, law, competitive degrees), the non-ATAR pathway is a real, established route. Barbara’s eldest is the living proof. Ask AI About Euka We believe in transparency.

Why This Episode Matters If you have ever wondered whether homeschooling will close doors for your child, or whether a flexible, family-led approach can lead to real tertiary outcomes, this episode is for you. Barbara’s family is proof that travel, flexibility, and academic ambition are not opposites. They sit comfortably side by side when learning is built around the child, not the other way around. Whether you are a parent looking for a calmer way forward, a travelling family wanting school that moves with you, or simply a parent navigating the question of what comes next, you will leave this conversation with practical reassurance and a clearer sense of what is possible.

In this episode, we speak with Walt McRee (President) and Peter Winslow (Vice President) of the Public Banking Institute (PBI) about their past and ongoing advocacy for public banking. Founded in 2011 by author Ellen Brown and a core collective of advocates, PBI aims to break the monopoly of Wall Street's private banking system by establishing a nationwide network of publicly owned, democratically accountable banks. Through this work, PBI seeks to foster a wide-spread monetary and banking system that operates explicitly in the public interest, treating credit as a vital public utility rather than a vehicle for private extraction. If private mega-banks are legally bound to maximize short-term returns for external shareholders, McRee and Winslow explain, then public banks operate under a legal mandate to generate shared prosperity, measuring fiscal success in terms of community participation, well-being, and resilience. During our conversation, we discuss the history of the PBI, the myriad projects that public banks can finance, diverse models for establishing public banks, and the organization's efforts to serve as a catalyst for the growing public banking movement across the United States. Visit our Patreon page here: https://www.patreon.com/MoLsuperstructureMusic by Nahneen Kula: www.nahneenkula.com

Tom Bodrovics, welcomes back David Morgan, founder of The Morgan Report, for a discussion centered around their respective recent interviews with Dr. Judy Shelton. They highlight her advocacy for the moral obligation of money and her belief in an honest monetary system that fosters freedom and stability. Morgan believes these views align with his life's work. The conversation touches upon potential solutions for imposing monetary discipline on the government, including the idea of long-term gold bonds and a bimetallic standard consisting of both gold and silver. The benefits of a bimetallic system include regulation of inflation, but its practicality is questioned due to the current market values of gold and silver. Morgan also discusses the role of the Federal Reserve in the US monetary system, suggesting that commercial banks create most of the money through loans and advocating for the Treasury to manage monetary policy according to the Constitution. He expresses skepticism towards Central Bank Digital Currencies due to concerns over privacy and potential loss of control by individuals. David Morgan shares his long-term perspective on investing in silver, emphasizing its importance as a form of financial security and potential return to being a monetary asset. He also discusses the industrial uses of platinum and palladium and expresses his bullish sentiment towards these metals. In conclusion, Morgan advocates for self-reliance, fundamental human values, and focuses on the human spirit despite skepticism towards politics. David Morgan is working on a documentary called "Silver Sunrise" that explores the monetary system, stress, fear, and control related to money, featuring interviews from renowned figures like G. Edwin Griffin, Ron Paul, Ellen Brown, and Mark Passio, set for release early next year.

Today's Flashback Friday is from episode 435 published last November 5, 2014. Jason Hartman deals with issues in his introduction such as how to deal with your property manager, what we need to know about monetary policy and considers just how intricate the links between politics and real estate investment really are. In the interview portion of the show, he talks to author Ellen Brown about her books Web of Debt and The Public Bank Solution about public banks worldwide, whether we need a Central Bank and if there can ever be a realistic option for funding which doesn't include Wall Street. Key Takeaways 2:58 We have to really understand monetary policy because it always has a direct impact on real estate investors and their tenants 5:00 Politics and real estate are so interlinked you just can't have one without the other. 10:51 You need to ensure you retain the control position with your property manager. 18:08 The US only has one state-owned bank, compared with 40% of publicly owned banks worldwide. 22:28 The public banks have always done better when they're in the small community-style markets that they know. As soon as they branch out, the problems arise. 27:50 The main difference between a credit union and a public bank is the size of the depositor. Credit unions are great for individual depositors, where public banks have a city or state as its main depositor. 31:50 Historically, countries like Australia have shown us when Central Banks do and do not work. 36:35 Jason Hartman takes the matter and asks “Do we even really need a Central Bank?” 37:35 Ellen Brown remarks that she would opt for a bottom-up government where each level is selected by people that personally know the individual. 40:04 People are using money to work their way higher and higher, and now we're at a point where banks own businesses which they really shouldn't. They should be in banking. 41:35 There may be a chance that crowd-funding initiatives can remove Wall Street from the funding equation. 44:45 For more information about Ellen Brown and her published works, head to www.EllenBrown.com   Mentioned in this episode Web of Debt by Ellen Brown The Public Bank Solution by Ellen Brown www.EllenBrown.com www.PublicBankingInstitute.org   Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

She developed her research skills as an attorney practicing civil litigation in Los Angeles. In the best-selling Web of Debt (2007, 2012), she turned those skills to an analysis of the Federal Reserve and “the money trust,” showing how this private cartel has usurped the power to create money from the people themselves and how we the people can get it back. In The Public Bank Solution (2013) she traces the evolution of two banking models that have competed historically, public and private; and explores contemporary public banking systems globally. She has presented these ideas at scores of conferences in the US and abroad, including in England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Canada, Iceland, Ireland, Switzerland, Sweden, the Netherlands, Germany, Croatia, Malaysia, Mexico and Venezuela. Brown developed an interest in the developing world and its problems while living abroad for eleven years in Kenya, Honduras, Guatemala and Nicaragua. She returned to practicing law when she was asked to join the legal team of a popular Tijuana healer with an innovative cancer therapy, who was targeted by the chemotherapy industry in the 1990s. That experience produced her book Forbidden Medicine, which traces the suppression of natural health treatments to the same corrupting influences  that have captured the money system. She also co-authored the bestselling Nature's Pharmacy, which has sold 285,000 copies. Ellen ran for California State Treasurer in 2014 with the endorsement of the Green Party garnering a record number of votes for a Green Party candidate. Her 330+ blog articles are at http://EllenBrown.com. The Public Banking Institute is at http://PublicBankingInstitute.org. She can be heard biweekly on “It's Our Money with Ellen Brown” on PRN.FM.

Summary: Highly reputable author, attorney, speaker, and activist, Ellen Brown, joins us on this episode to touch on her solution to banking in the age of the Internet (described more in depth in her latest book linked below) which entails democratizing money and enabling the people in a digitized economy. Public information is extremely crucial to this solution in avoidance of a central bank currency where individuals' money could be cut off at any time. Brown proposes ideas designated to rescue the future of economics amidst the prevalence of technology, so be sure to tune in to this episode for more valuable information.

Ellen Brown and Quinton Hennigh are this week's guests. By design Americans are kept in the dark about money. We are taught nothing in our classrooms about what it is or how it is created. That is by design because as Henry Ford once said, “It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.” In fact, the mystery of money has become greater since 1971 because the dollar used for international trade was debased by Nixon when he no longer allowed the convertibility of the dollar into gold at $35 per ounce. That made the dollar the world's reserve currency but only because the U.S. has used its military might to enforce an initial agreement with Saudi Arabia that the world would pay for imported oil only with U.S. dollars. In 1999 the euro began to erode the dollar's dominance. But now the U.S. got a new and much larger threat to its global currency dominance when Russia responded to sanctions launched against it after the Ukrainian war. In March 2022 Putin did what Nixon did in 1971. He demanded payment in rubles or gold from “unfriendly” countries that wish to buy natural gas from Russia. Unless large parts of Europe don't care if they freeze to death or don't mind heading into an economic depression, Russia has given many European countries a deal they simply can't refuse. Ellen Brown will walk us through the history of the 1970s creation of the Petrodollar and the events leading up to the March 2022 creation of the PetroRuble and what the demise of the U.S. dollar's dominance is likely to mean for the financial status of Americans. Quinton will update us on Lion One Metals as that company is moving toward start-up production even as it continues to expand its very high grade alkaline gold deposit in Fiji.

Public banking expert Ellen Brown talks about her article, “The Coming Global Financial Revolution, Russia is Following America's Playbook” in which she details the hidden history of decisions and actions taken by America's leaders that resulted in the current global economic system; how Russia is emulating the US's past actions; and how ultimately the coming multipolar global economic reset/revolution could yield positive outcomes for the U.S., including ending America's oil wars and sparking a revival of the nation's manufacturing sector.

Economic expert Ellen Brown talks to Robert Scheer about the financial revolution Vladimir Putin has started and what the global economic future could look like as a result.

Ellen Brown is today's guest here to discuss Universal Basic Income, UBI. As well, she shares some interesting details about what happens to the money when a debt is paid. How did China increase its money supply by such a large percentage in two decades?  Key Takeaways: Guest: Ellen Brown, author of over a dozen books including, The Public Bank Solution, From Austerity to Prosperity [2:30] What is a postal account?  [10:45] What is the end game of money spending? [12:10] Money is lent into existence. Banks create the principal but they don't create the interest, so debt always grows faster than the money supply. [15:00] The real economy is always short of money because there's a hole in the bucket that always drains into the financial economy. [16:00] What is the financialized economy?  [20:20] Debt grows until it gets so high that people can't borrow anymore, so they pay down their debts instead of taking out new debts. That shrinks the money supply. That goes into deflation which goes into depression.  [22:30] Money evaporates when it pays off the debt. [26:30] All of our money is credit. China increased its money supply by 1800% in twenty years, and they did not run into hyperinflation.

#45. May 4, 2020. Ellen Brown, a public banking expert, author and founder of the Public Banking Institute, joins Walt McCree of the Public Bank Associates today (May 4, 2020) to discuss their ideas of what role a renewed Bank of Canada and public banks (like ATB Financial in Alberta) might play in creating interest-free money, ensuring a Universal Basic Income and slowly extinguishing mountains of unrepayable debt of governments and households. In last 11 minutes of this program I discuss the historical role of the Bank of Canada that prior to 1974 created interest-free debt money for the federal and provincial government. Today that mountain of debt exceeds $1.4 trillion for both provincial and federal governments with interest charges consuming large portions of government operating budgets. Could the Covid-19 crisis and the economic emergency Canada finds itself in be a catalyst for restoring the original mandate of the Bank of Canada along with the mandate of provincial (or state) public banks like Alberta Treasury Branches to create the necessary money to cover government operating deficits and reduce the burden of hidden interest charges in the costs of living (including taxes) of Canadian households? The cost savings to Canadian households of eliminating interest charges on public debt sold to private markets would be tremendous, effectively reducing the number of hours we currently have to work to pay for these interest charges. Could the creation of money by a renewed public central bank become a public utility without the unnecessary cost of interest charges? I believe so. Consider, for example, that for every $1.00 of the average American household income, roughly $0.45 is currently going to pay for hidden interest charges in all goods, services and government programs (taxers) that are associated with over $73 trillion in outstanding government, household, and business debts. This total debt continues to growth doubling roughly 7-8 years through the power of compound interest. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/mark-anielski/message

Ellen Brown returns to the program to share why she believes China is winning and why they will continue to win unless we change our entire banking system. The system needs to work for the people, for our future, for industry, and for innovation and development. Currently, the system serves a few at the expense of many. We need to fix this if we want to have a chance to compete against a country like China who has a much better banking system in place to serve their people long term.

My recent episode with Wayne Jett shares WHY it is so critical to end the Federal Reserve, this episode with Ellen Brown, Chairman of the Public Banking Institute, shares HOW we can end the Federal Reserve. Brown shares how the United States central bank WAS initially set up as a public utility to benefit the entire country and all of our citizens. Due to excessive war time debt, ruthless bankers from England took over ownership, and essentially our country, when the Federal Reserve became a private institution. Using the well established model of the 100+ year old central bank of North Dakota, Brown explains how Los Angeles, New Jersey, and over a dozen other initiatives around the country are looking at creating their own public banking system to save money and to bring preserve their money for growth locally.

Join Jason Hartman and returning guest, Ellen Brown, author of Web of Debt, for a discussion of the United States' debt ceiling, QE2, inflation, as well as a brief explanation of how money came to equal debt. Ellen explains why the debt ceiling is unconstitutional, how the government is legally committed to paying its debts. She points out the contradiction that has been for more than 100 years, since WWI. The easing put into place at that time was only to be a temporary measure. Ellen also talks about shadow banking causing the crisis by money being lent into existence, slight of hand. The only real money are coins, which are one-tenth of the total money in circulation. Ellen also discusses QE2 , where the government agreed to pay the interest on borrowed money in order to maintain control of the Federal Funds rate. She said there are a lot of reserve funds on the books in certain foreign banks, including bond dealers, that is just being held.  Ellen also touches on the national debt, Glass-Steagall, and proposes state-owned banks as part of the solution, with the basic idea that we take care of our own, much the same way that Japan is reliant on their own Central Bank. Ellen Brown developed her research skills as an attorney practicing civil litigation in Los Angeles. In Web of Debt, her latest book, she turns those skills to an analysis of the Federal Reserve and "the money trust." She shows how this private cartel has usurped the power to create money from the people themselves, and how we the people can get it back. Brown developed an interest in the developing world and its problems while living abroad for eleven years in Kenya, Honduras, Guatemala and Nicaragua. She returned to practicing law when she was asked to join the legal team of a popular Tijuana healer with an innovative cancer therapy, who was targeted by the chemotherapy industry in the 1990s. That experience produced her book Forbidden Medicine, which traces the suppression of natural health treatments to the same corrupting influences that have captured the money system. Brown's eleven books include the bestselling Nature's Pharmacy, co-authored with Dr. Lynne Walker, which has sold 285,000 copies.

Ellen Brown and Brent Cook return. Gwen Preston appears for the first time. Ellen Brown, whose work has long ago exposed the criminal nature of the banking system, discusses why only select figures have been exposed to tax evasion in the Panama Papers and how that relates to plans to rob you of your savings through bail-ins and a move toward making cash holdings illegal. What might those Keynesian-orchestrated banking policies mean for gold, silver and other tangible assets? Your host will outline Michal Oliver's latest thoughts on stocks, bonds, gold and silver. Brent and Gwen will join me to discuss some of their favorite gold and silver mining companies, part of an exclusive group of companies that will be invited to the Metals Investor Forum in Vancouver. Your host will also be speaking at this conference. Admission is free but limited so sign up immediately to this May 14-15 event. http://www.eventbrite.ca/e/metals-investor-forum-may-2016-registration-21359621202?aff=taylor

Ellen Brown and Michael Oliver return. Americans are told our country engages in regime change for the good of citizens around the world. From Hillary Clinton's declassified emails we learn Libya was destroyed because of its successful implementation of a gold-backed currency. Under gold money, Qaddafi's Libya prospered and was leading 53 Africa countries toward a gold-backed monetary and trading system. Qaddafi's honest gold monetary system was a threat to America. Qaddafi and Libya had to be destroyed, leaving it a hotbed of ISIS terror. Like Qadaffi, Donald Trump also is warm toward gold as money and is adamant about finding out who really was behind 9-11. That may be why Pres. Bush I gave the execution sign for Trump at a recent GOP debate. Ms. Brown has documented the evils of our fiat banking system. In light of the political climate in the U.S. we'll ask her if she has hope for positive change. Michael will provide his latest technical findings on the gold and equity markets.

Ellen Brown and Roy Sebag return as guests. As the debt and equity markets once again enter crash mode and as the world careens toward bankruptcy, the Fed and other central banks are planning to use your wealth one more time to save the 1% and their banker friends. Ellen will explain why your savings are at risk despite FDIC insurance. People do not realize their checking or savings accounts are not legally their own money, but rather an unsecured loan to the bank. As an over-indebted global economy defaults, leading to bad loans and insolvent banks, central planners have arranged the passing of laws to confiscate your deposits through bail-ins. Your money is at risk! That's why you should move as much of it as possible ASAP out of the banking system into alternative places of storage. We will ask Ellen for safe storage ideas and then Roy, whose GoldMoney payment system is outside of the banking system, will explain how GoldMoney can help shield your wealth from the bankers.

Jason Hartman deals with issues in his introduction such as how to deal with your property manager, what we need to know about monetary policy and considers just how intricate the links between politics and real estate investment really are.   In the interview portion of the show, he talks to author Ellen Brown about her books Web of Debt and The Public Bank Solution about public banks worldwide, whether we need a Central Bank and if there can ever be a realistic option for funding which doesn't include Wall Street.   Key Takeaways   02.58 – We have to really understand monetary policy because it always has a direct impact on real estate investors and their tenants 05.00 – Politics and real estate are so interlinked you just can't have one without the other. 10.51 – You need to ensure you retain the control position with your property manager. 18.08 – The US only has one state-owned bank, compared with 40% of publicly owned banks worldwide. 22.28 – The public banks have always done better when they're in the small community-style markets that they know. As soon as they branch out, the problems arise. 27.50 – The main difference between a credit union and a public bank is the size of the depositor. Credit unions are great for individual depositors, where public banks have a city or state as its main depositor. 31.50 – Historically, countries like Australia have shown us when Central Banks do and do not work. 36.35 – Jason Hartman takes the matter and asks “Do we even really need a Central Bank?” 37.35 – Ellen Brown remarks that she would opt for a bottom-up government where each level is selected by people that personally know the individual. 40.04 – People are using money to work their way higher and higher, and now we're at a point where banks own businesses which they really shouldn't. They should be in banking. 41.35 – There may be a chance that crowd-funding initiatives can remove Wall Street from the funding equation. 44.45 – For more information about Ellen Brown and her published works, head to www.EllenBrown.com     Mentioned in this episode   Web of Debt by Ellen Brown The Public Bank Solution by Ellen Brown www.EllenBrown.com   www.PublicBankingInstitute.org
