Nourished With Anna

(For my English-speaking community, this week's episode is in Swedish ❤️)Alltså vilket avsnitt! Den här gången gästas jag av fantastiska Cecilia Strandevall, tvåbarnsmamman och samhällsdebattören som brinner för barns hälsa, trygghet och välmående. Cecilia är en person som vågar ifrågasätta etablerade normer och lyfta de där lite obekväma, stickiga frågorna som vi kanske inte alltid pratar om.I det här avsnittet djupdyker vi i det svenska skolsystemet och skolplikten. Ett ämne som har kommit mig allt närmare hjärtat sedan jag själv blev mamma.Varför håller vi så hårt fast vid skolplikten när många barn inte trivs i skolan, lärare vittnar om en alltför hög arbetsbelastning och skolan inte fungerar för alla?Är skolplikten verkligen till för barnens bästa, eller handlar det också om samhällets behov, jämställdhet och kontroll?Vi pratar om skillnaden mellan skolplikt och läroplikt, barns trygghet och välmående, föräldrars möjlighet att påverka och vilka alternativ som faktiskt finns.För hur mycket av det vi gör idag gör vi egentligen bara för att det alltid har varit så? Och vad händer när vi börjar ifrågasätta det vi länge tagit för givet?Det handlar inte om att allt i dagens skolsystem är fel, utan om att våga öppna upp för fler perspektiv och ställa frågan: Kan vi göra saker annorlunda?✨Cecilia's Instagram ✨Anna's Instagram
