WEBVTT - MINI: Schools now are INSANELY different from when we were students

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.840
<v Speaker 1>So Marley May, she's my oldest, she's almost six years old.

0:00:02.920 --> 0:00:06.400
<v Speaker 1>She started school this year, and I feel like, as

0:00:06.400 --> 0:00:08.600
<v Speaker 1>a mum, I'm still getting used to having a kid

0:00:08.600 --> 0:00:09.399
<v Speaker 1>that's at school.

0:00:09.560 --> 0:00:12.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad you finished that sentence. Why I'm still I

0:00:12.320 --> 0:00:13.760
<v Speaker 2>thought it was going to end it. I'm still gonna use.

0:00:13.720 --> 0:00:15.960
<v Speaker 3>To having a kid sometimes, I am.

0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:18.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you ever get used to completely

0:00:18.120 --> 0:00:20.160
<v Speaker 1>being a parent, or if every day is like you're

0:00:20.200 --> 0:00:23.400
<v Speaker 1>learning something new from these wonderful little miracles. No, but look,

0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:25.759
<v Speaker 1>school's changed so much since we were at school, Brett.

0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:28.160
<v Speaker 1>So if you want to order something from the canteen

0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:29.760
<v Speaker 1>for your kids for lunch, and this might not be

0:00:29.800 --> 0:00:31.720
<v Speaker 1>the same every school across the country, but definitely for

0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:34.680
<v Speaker 1>the one Maley goes to, everything is done via an app.

0:00:34.920 --> 0:00:36.559
<v Speaker 1>Do you remember back in the day how your mum

0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:38.800
<v Speaker 1>would just send you to school with like five bars

0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:41.280
<v Speaker 1>and that was enough to get you chicken yummy drummies,

0:00:41.320 --> 0:00:43.440
<v Speaker 1>a souper duper a four hundred, like.

0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:45.120
<v Speaker 3>Chocolate buds five bucks.

0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:46.280
<v Speaker 4>No, I was like two dollars.

0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:48.400
<v Speaker 2>You were getting a meat pie and some chicken chippies

0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:50.199
<v Speaker 2>and you put that in a brown paper bag. That

0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 2>was collected in a shopping basket by two people that

0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:55.120
<v Speaker 2>were very specially chosen.

0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:57.760
<v Speaker 1>Ye, it was like the two school leaders, Like your

0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:00.280
<v Speaker 1>class leaders got to take the shopping basket down the

0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:02.920
<v Speaker 1>white shopping basket with your brown paper bag and you

0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:04.960
<v Speaker 1>would right on the front of the brown paper bag.

0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:06.760
<v Speaker 3>What your order was so funny?

0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:09.880
<v Speaker 1>So that's changed now, Okay, Now you have to be

0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:13.400
<v Speaker 1>organized and I am not an organized mum. I am

0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:16.240
<v Speaker 1>a last minute mum and I just kind of get by,

0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:18.880
<v Speaker 1>which usually serves me fine. But when it comes to

0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:21.600
<v Speaker 1>like needing to have your kids lunch order in prior

0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:24.279
<v Speaker 1>to eight am by the app, I'm not very.

0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:24.560
<v Speaker 3>Good at it.

0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:28.280
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So I put in this order and like they've

0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:31.800
<v Speaker 1>got fancy things at school now, like Marley's got pork

0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:35.039
<v Speaker 1>and chived dumplings, and they've got everything's like hell Star

0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:36.880
<v Speaker 1>raided in school, which is much better than where we

0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:37.760
<v Speaker 1>were kids.

0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:42.200
<v Speaker 3>Dumplings, dumplings. So Marley's order was Assaii bowls.

0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:45.160
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, that's also asking for trouble for a five year

0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:46.520
<v Speaker 2>old to eat an Assii bol.

0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:48.520
<v Speaker 1>So Marley wanted an Assi bowl for recess, and she

0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:50.800
<v Speaker 1>wanted pork and chive dumplings for lunch, and I was like,

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:51.520
<v Speaker 1>no problems.

0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:52.880
<v Speaker 3>I put the order in.

0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:54.880
<v Speaker 1>I got a you know, some grapes and a few

0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:59.680
<v Speaker 1>other things. Receipt came through. I checked the amount. Sixteen dollars. Okay,

0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:00.440
<v Speaker 1>where them off?

0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:00.680
<v Speaker 3>You go?

0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:03.320
<v Speaker 4>Sixteen dollars for a kid's lunch.

0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:04.720
<v Speaker 3>Order, yes, recess and lunch.

0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:08.359
<v Speaker 4>Pull them out home school, it's too much, that's a

0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:08.840
<v Speaker 4>loto Chris.

0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:11.520
<v Speaker 1>I go to pick up Molly from school and she

0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:14.040
<v Speaker 1>is in tears, like she is not a happy camper.

0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:16.840
<v Speaker 1>I always pack her a couple of extra snacks because

0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:18.360
<v Speaker 1>you never know if they're gonna like what they get

0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:20.000
<v Speaker 1>from the canteen, so just to make sure she's got

0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:21.320
<v Speaker 1>something else in there, just in case.

0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:24.040
<v Speaker 3>She's in tears. And I'm like, baby, what's wrong, what's happened?

0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:27.040
<v Speaker 1>And she was like, Mum, you didn't put the canteen

0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:29.079
<v Speaker 1>order in today I didn't have any lunch.

0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:29.960
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god.

0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:32.040
<v Speaker 1>And then I went back on the app and I checked,

0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:34.160
<v Speaker 1>and I think I must have just checked the total

0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:36.519
<v Speaker 1>amount and didn't actually process the order because it was

0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:38.960
<v Speaker 1>no actual receipt there. So it wasn't the school fault,

0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:41.120
<v Speaker 1>like it was definitely my fault. It was an app

0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:42.520
<v Speaker 1>glip and I made a mistake.

0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:45.359
<v Speaker 4>She wanted was a damn asaii in pork dumpling.

0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:48.000
<v Speaker 3>And like all she wanted was at pork and shive dumplings.

0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:50.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean she got an IOU from the canteen and

0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:53.359
<v Speaker 1>she got her like some oranges and some bits and pieces.

0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:55.360
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it's not a signing bowl.

0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:56.880
<v Speaker 3>It's not a sign bowl.

0:02:56.960 --> 0:02:59.400
<v Speaker 1>But my thing is, I actually can't get my head

0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:01.440
<v Speaker 1>around how much everything now.

0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:02.880
<v Speaker 3>With school is online.

0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:05.720
<v Speaker 1>And this is everything from ordering from the canteen to

0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:08.840
<v Speaker 1>buying school uniforms you do it online, to like booking

0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.359
<v Speaker 1>them into after schoolcare you do Everything is done through

0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:14.200
<v Speaker 1>different apps, and there's so many apps. There's so many

0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:17.440
<v Speaker 1>WHATSEP groups. Even to book in your parent teacher night

0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:19.800
<v Speaker 1>you have to do it through a calendar app so

0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:21.480
<v Speaker 1>that you know when you're going to see the teacher.

0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:24.320
<v Speaker 1>Like everything is online, which on one hand is very convenient,

0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:26.720
<v Speaker 1>but on the other hand, if you miss the deadlines,

0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:28.480
<v Speaker 1>you can't just send them to school with a brown

0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:29.160
<v Speaker 1>paper bag.

0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:31.679
<v Speaker 2>But to be fair, I know you said you're not

0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:34.960
<v Speaker 2>an organized person, but a lunch order app is far

0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:37.720
<v Speaker 2>easier than it is to have gone and gotten cash

0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:39.880
<v Speaker 2>out and to have a brown paper bag and to

0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:41.400
<v Speaker 2>write on it, to put it in and put into

0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:41.800
<v Speaker 2>the bag.

0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:44.000
<v Speaker 4>They've actually handed that to you on a platter.

0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:46.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but then what if when technology fails you, it.

0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:50.440
<v Speaker 2>Didn't fail you failed, it was a user problem technology.

0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:53.480
<v Speaker 1>No, I understand. I know, obviously she's fine. My child's

0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:55.200
<v Speaker 1>not neglected. She gets a great lunch every day.

0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:56.960
<v Speaker 2>But well, you know what shocks me is like when

0:03:57.000 --> 0:04:00.440
<v Speaker 2>I think back to being in school, you had chalk

0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:01.800
<v Speaker 2>on a chalkboard.

0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:03.080
<v Speaker 4>And you had like a projector.

0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:05.240
<v Speaker 2>So if you were going to do this big group class,

0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:08.240
<v Speaker 2>someone would be chosen to write the information. Well, the

0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:10.160
<v Speaker 2>teacher would write the information down on like one of

0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:11.640
<v Speaker 2>those aful pieces.

0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:13.040
<v Speaker 3>And then the sea through sheet yep, And you'd have.

0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 4>To put on the projector.

0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:15.640
<v Speaker 2>And it was someone's job to make sure like the

0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:17.720
<v Speaker 2>sheets were constantly moving on the projector and they weren't

0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:20.120
<v Speaker 2>back to front and upside down. And now I don't

0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:23.680
<v Speaker 2>even think there are chalkboards. Isn't it all like on iPads?

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:25.719
<v Speaker 2>And isn't it really extreme for kids now?

0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:27.560
<v Speaker 1>No, I think that they're still chalkboards. I went into

0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:29.760
<v Speaker 1>a parent teacher recently. So we had like a class

0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:32.080
<v Speaker 1>presentation where the teacher had to present to all of us,

0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:35.200
<v Speaker 1>is like an orientation for kindergarten, and all the parents

0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:37.200
<v Speaker 1>walked in and we sat at the kid's desk. The

0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:39.600
<v Speaker 1>only thing is that because they're in kindergarten, they're not

0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:41.880
<v Speaker 1>normal sized chairs and they're not normal sized table. So

0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:44.760
<v Speaker 1>there there was like thirty parents just all squeezed into

0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:46.520
<v Speaker 1>these little chairs on the floor while the teacher was

0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:48.920
<v Speaker 1>up the front talking to us. It was very humbling.

0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:49.520
<v Speaker 3>Question.

0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:52.640
<v Speaker 2>Do they still get like your pen license? You know

0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:54.440
<v Speaker 2>how you had to upgrade from a pencil to a

0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:55.560
<v Speaker 2>pen and then a red pen.

0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:57.279
<v Speaker 3>They're still to a red pen.

0:04:57.440 --> 0:04:59.359
<v Speaker 2>Well you got red pen, blue pen and an pencil

0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:01.240
<v Speaker 2>in my day, Wow, now we didn't have that.

0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:04.000
<v Speaker 3>We just had from pencil to pen. I never got

0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:05.440
<v Speaker 3>my pen lify basic your.

0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:10.080
<v Speaker 1>School, Yeah, I never got it. I never got it.

0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:12.480
<v Speaker 1>When you entered year six, everyone who hadn't had it

0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:14.360
<v Speaker 1>just automatically got it. And I was the only kid

0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:16.320
<v Speaker 1>in year five who wasn't allowed to have a pen license.

0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:20.520
<v Speaker 1>Well treated as a weapon. Why are we on trustworthy

0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:20.960
<v Speaker 1>with a band?

0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:23.440
<v Speaker 3>No? I think my year five teacher really didn't like me.

0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:27.160
<v Speaker 1>I still have I still have hang ups' depro shoesy
