Pags asks a question a lot of Texas parents are probably thinking: Why are we sending kids back to school in the middle of brutal summer heat? As Texas lawmakers revive a push for later start dates, Pags and the crew debate why school calendars vary so wildly across the country—and whether having football players and other student athletes practicing outside in extreme August temperatures makes any sense at all. Then, why is the WNBA suddenly dominating headlines? A league task force is reportedly examining its policies surrounding transgender athletes, potentially forcing the WNBA to confront one of the biggest questions facing women's sports. The crew jumps into the debate, the phones light up, and listeners from across America have PLENTY to say. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
School is about to start again and the La Crosse teachers' union president stopped in studio to talk about touring the old Trane building donated to the district. La Crosse Education Association president Jill Schams also discussed where the union stands politically in the Wisconsin governor's race, private school voucher funding, and the Act 10 lawsuit. Here's what we covered: Inside the Trane Building: What Schams saw during her walk-through, why the space is brighter and more usable than it looks from the outside, and how the district could roll it out in phases for teacher training, higher-ed partnerships, and sports facilities. Starting School on Aug. 20: How applying for a DPI waiver saves the district roughly $200,000 by aligning busing schedules with local private schools—and why teachers and parents prefer structured mid-year breaks. The Act 10 Lawsuit Heading to the State Supreme Court: What a potential reversal would mean for local teachers looking to regain full collective bargaining rights over class sizes, workday hours, and working conditions. Voucher School Funding & Political Endorsements: Why the state union is backing candidate Kelda Roys in the primary, plus the push to itemize private voucher school costs directly on local property tax bills, and how over $2 million leaves La Crosse public schools annually. Elementary Consolidation & Teacher Layoffs: How the merger of State Road into Pamel Creek and upcoming building closures will impact staffing, and why natural retirements should prevent major teacher layoffs.

Relentless. That's the word a founder used to describe her weeks, and it hit me right in the gut, because I've been there too. If your business feels like constant admin, scattered focus, and guilt every time you log off, this episode will show you why it's happening, and what to do about it. I'll share the shift that changed everything for me as my son started school: moving from being the operating system to building one that actually holds me. You'll hear real client stories of delegation, burnout recovery, and the hidden costs of being “essential to everything.” You'll walk away knowing: Why your weeks feel so heavy (it's not just workload). The pattern most high-capacity founders miss. How to create a business rhythm that gives you freedom, not fire-fighting.
Some parents of children with special educational needs have been told their child cannot start primary school in September because the classrooms are not ready.

Today we're checking in to see how the new school year is going. The beginning of the school year can be difficult no matter which way you choose to go with your kids. We are at totally different places in our schooling years. And you, our listeners, may be in a place completely different than we are. Our reason for doing this episode is no matter what way your family chooses to educate your kids, it is hard. It is hard to send them to school. It is hard to keep them home. And when you're done and they grow up, that's hard too. The take away is to enjoy the ride and give yourself grace!Could you do us a big favor before you go? Share our show with a friend.

She has talked to parents and students over the years, but now the CBC's Colleen Connors is the parent of a child heading to school for the first time. She joined us from our studio in Corner Brook to talk about the family milestone.
Too many five-year-olds are starting school unable to speak coherently with some unable to speak in sentences of more than four or five words. The Education Review Office did the research, Ruth Shinoda is from its Education Evaluation Centre and she spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
There are calls for less screen time and more conversations with children before they begin school. The Education Review Office research reveals too many children are starting school without knowing how to read and write. More than two-thirds of parents report their child had language difficulties before they started school last year. Head of ERO's Education Evaluation Centre Ruth Shinoda told Mike Hosking that parents need to limit device use to boost learning. She says language is developed by talking to children, and they need to know words before learning to read and write them at school. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Niki and Gav from New Zealand join us to share how their son George was wasting away and not eating after 2.5 years of extensive chemotherapy treatment to deal with his cancer. It wasn't until they started giving him CBD to deal with his constant vomiting that things started to improve. Then they began giving him THC and the toddler started eating and coming back to life. Now little George is thriving, and he starts school this year.
Our son started Kindergarten this year, and it hasn't gone as well as I planned. In today's episode I share what's gone on the first few months of starting school as well as things that we have implemented and done along the way to help with the transition. If your year hasn't started the way you thought, you aren't alone! The tips I share in this episode, don't just apply to school but every big seasonal change in life - moving house, having another baby.
