    Hello everyone! It's been a long, long while, hasn't it? Life has been a whirlwind and has often led us where we didn't think it would. This time around, it brings us back to where we began: the conversation about education. I realized that moving forward, this will be an educational podcast where we will talk about the ins and outs of the educational landscape. Hope you enjoy a short restart episode where I share my opinion of what education is after teaching for 10 years. Enjoy!

    Not Gonna Lie - Education series Ep 9

    In this episode we had a conversation with Ms Grasheli, Fashion Designer and Lecturer from Binus University Alam Sutera. It was refreshing to hear that students are able to settle into the university routines and demand quite seamlessly and that there seems to be effort made by some schools in Jakarta to support and develop creative programs instead of just the more mainstream of academics. This was a good conversation as it challenges my own perspective that schools are still adamant to push for more science based subject achievements rather than exploring more options as from what I know, students who were more creatively inclined felt suffocated as there were no room for them to grow.

So, what's the most important thing then?

    Not Gonna Lie - Education Series Ep 5

    In this episode, I had a very interesting conversation regarding the journey of someone who were struggling in high school, not knowing what this person would like to do in life, only to find herself thriving in university and was able to decide quite early that her career now is the career she would like to pursue. It's an incredible message for those who are also struggling to reach the academic mount A because ultimately, life has so much more to live for than just the grades student can achieve.

    In episode 4 we had a very interesting conversation with a university student that has a unique educational journey which takes him on a path not a lot of students dare to take. This in turn gave him more opportunities to experience education to the fullest as he is pursuing his passion and interest. Ultimately we get to hear what makes education important and how the current system is doing whether it is beneficial for students or not.

    Not Gonna Lie - Education Series Ep 3

    In this episode, we had a great conversation about early age education and the importance of parents and adults in younger children's development stage. Education cannot be constrain in the school setting only but also a process that starts from home with parents. It is tough and it will never be easy but it is definitely worth investing in the children's growth.

    Not Gonna Lie - Education series Ep 1

    Not gonna lie, I thought being a teacher is not something I would do at all. We all have our own perception of how education should be like. In this series we will have conversations with various people to hear and have good discussion on how they perceive education. At the end of the day, it's not about right or wrong, it really is just about differences in opinion based on experience and perception.
