Are Schools Failing Our Kids? In this episode of How It Is, we sit down with Jayne Brewer from 2B Enterprising to ask the big question: Is the education system preparing children for life or just for exams?2B Enterprising is working directly with schools to enhance the academic journey by delivering real-life skills that often get left out of the curriculum. They understand that schools only have so much time in the day, so they’re helping fill the gaps with practical learning that prepares children for the real world.From resilience and emotional intelligence to financial literacy and enterprise education, Jayne shares how their Adventures in Honeywood program is helping young learners gain the confidence, creativity, and skills to thrive, not just academically, but in life.If you're a parent, teacher, business leader, or anyone who cares about the future of education, this is a must-listen episode.We explore how teaching real-world skills like communication, confidence, and problem-solving, from as early as five or six years old, can transform the classroom.
