Speaker 2: Welcome to the Christian No Common Show podcast.
Speaker 3: And Melbourne is out of lockdown, which is amazing news.
Speaker 3: The atmosphere in my house yesterday, amongst the teenagers been
Speaker 3: trapped back indoors, slumped in front of laptops. Jim My
Speaker 3: wife said yesterday I don't think they've done a lot
Speaker 3: of their homework, and.
Speaker 2: I went, I don't care. You know whos problem? That is?
Speaker 2: The schools?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wouldn't sat front of a laptop for those
Speaker 3: two weeks. I'd be disappointed they had still been knuckling
Speaker 3: down doing that just.
Speaker 2: To survive, just get through it. Okay, that's the school problem. Tomorrow, Well,
Speaker 2: all your.
Speaker 1: Work really becomes homework because you're at home twenty fourth
Speaker 1: to seven. Why force them to do work outside of
Speaker 1: the school hours.
Speaker 2: So obviously we're two daughters at home.
Speaker 3: Okay, they're in separate parts right doing their online schooling.
Speaker 3: And I overhear bits of various teachers. Yesterday I overheard
Speaker 3: a very enthusiastic but wildly naive math teacher and she
Speaker 3: was going, do you know what, I just want to say,
Speaker 3: it's great news and do you know what's been so hard? So?
Speaker 2: Hey, how for you go.
Speaker 3: I'm really looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow. I'm
Speaker 3: just looking forward also just seeing all the work you've
Speaker 3: been doing ANYR homework for your mates, And I went, oh,
Speaker 3: if that's your goal for tomorrow, you're going to be
Speaker 3: so grush spoiler alert. None of them would have done
Speaker 3: not just any but certainly not maths work. Who's got
Speaker 3: enough If you're a teenager or a kid, who's got
Speaker 3: enough about them in a fifth, lockdown to knuckle down
Speaker 3: and do your maths homework.
Speaker 1: When I was thirteen years old, my mum and dad
Speaker 1: pulled me out of school for a couple of months
Speaker 1: and we went on our first ever overseas holiday.
Speaker 2: Your presson agreeing you went to Europe?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so they were. They essentially said before we started school,
Speaker 1: do you want to go to a nice school or
Speaker 1: save that money and go on a European holiday? And
Speaker 1: we chose European. Great choice, and they all my teachers
Speaker 1: gave me like months worth of work. It's they fill
Speaker 1: out these.
Speaker 2: Books like we do on the show.
Speaker 1: Fill out these books so that you don't fall behind,
Speaker 1: and then when you come back you can.
Speaker 3: Go, you know, and you're going to be climbing in Budapest,
Speaker 3: swatting in Paris, you know, sat underneath the Eiffel Tower.
Speaker 2: Jack, you're coming up. I can't. So I had on
Speaker 2: algebra test when I get back.
Speaker 1: I had I got home four days before I had
Speaker 1: to go back to school, Math, English.
Speaker 2: Geography, History. All these books were six month's worth of education.
Speaker 1: Two pages filled out, and then.
Speaker 3: Like a dangerous mind trying to absorb all this information.
Speaker 1: And then I actually remember my mum trying to help
Speaker 1: me go, like, well, maybe you can say to your
Speaker 1: history teacher, for example, that you've visited some castle.
Speaker 2: Teachers have never heard that one before.
Speaker 3: Oh history, I watched a movie there was some historical
Speaker 3: stuff and I don't worry about it.
Speaker 2: Then the chat post do you still have? I still
Speaker 2: have that.
Speaker 3: Nightmare once a week when I'm in an exam in
Speaker 3: school and I haven't done my homework all revision. When
Speaker 3: were those dreams?
Speaker 2: Stop? Stop? School has nothing to do with me. Now
Speaker 2: it's got nothing over me. On forty eight, when will
