Kourtney Kardashian Says School Is “So Dated” And Wonders Why Kids Even Go
Kourtney Kardashian is over the school system. Aren't we all?
In a new episode of Khloé Kardashian’s podcast Khloé in Wonder Land, sis Kourtney shared her hot takes on parenting, health, and whether traditional education even makes sense anymore. “Let’s say the school system,” she said. “I’ll think, ‘Why do kids f*cking go to school?’ Truly. It’s so dated.”
The conversation began as the sisters looked back on old fights and how therapy helped shift Kourtney’s perspective. “I would... kind of started challenging the ways that we did things, sometimes the way that we just all function,” she explained.
Khloé asked if her tendency to question things comes from a place of authenticity or a need to be different. Kourtney didn’t hesitate. “No, I think living authentically is not conforming to whatever it is,” she said. “For me, there’s so many ways. There’s ways we function as a family that... it’s like if someone does the same thing every day. Like I do it with everything, it’s not about our family.”
Mason, 15, Penelope, 12, Reign, 10, and her baby Rocky, turns two this year. Instead of doing things the “normal” way, Kourtney said her kids actually send her videos of “successful people” whose children don’t go to school. “And then I’m like, ‘What’s the goal here? You want to do homeschool? Let’s do it!’ Or whatever it is.”
She’s not alone in this view. Khloé added, “Oh, I’m such a homeschool person. So don’t even get me going.”
Kourtney also shared that she doesn’t follow conventional medical advice either. “I will like nurse the fever of my kids versus giving Tylenol or ibuprofen. I just want to do that,” she said. “And whatever it is, there’s so many things like that where I feel like I kinda do, maybe in the world generally does maybe more what I do, but in the United States [it’s different].”
Kourtney is obviously not the only parent disgruntled with the education system. And whether others agree with her or not, she’s not waiting for permission to do things differently.
