I sat down with Katharine Birbalsingh, the controversial headmistress of Michaela Community School in London, to discuss why discipline, structure, and teaching “what to think” are essential for raising children into successful, independent adults. Clearly defined expectations empower students, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, to thrive both academically and personally. As someone who fondly recalls my more free-range, Gen X upbringing, her views present a welcome challenge to my biases toward freedom and independence. Katharine makes a compelling case for traditional, no-nonsense schooling that prioritizes basic skills, knowledge, and values over educators’ ideologically motivated experiments._____________________________________Follow Katharine on X (formerly Twitter): https://x.com/Miss_Snuffy_____________________________________Outline:[0:00] What is Michaela Community School?[9:15] Our culture has forgotten the value of structure[20:28] Free-range parenting doesn’t fit the inner city[26:25] Actually, you should teach kids what to think[38:57] Building habits frees you to pursue higher goals[50:08] Are education debates really class debates?[1:03:08] How do you keep school staff on the right track?[1:20:19] Is traditionalism an actionable solution?[1:34:36] Am I wrong about the Prussian school model?[1:47:03] Freedom is not a complete value set_____________________________________Watch the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/uLmb3as-MQcMake a tax-deductible donation to Dad Saves America: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit our website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.dadsavesamerica.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get full access to Dad Saves America at www.dadsavesamerica.com/subscribe

Last month, I traveled to Mar-a-Lago and sat down with a group of business leaders to discuss how artificial intelligence is reshaping our economy and society at large.
