One wake-up call to open your eyes. Another to open your heart. Together, they tell the whole story.

Obsolete: The Education Wake-Up Call

We’re still preparing kids for a world that no longer exists.

AI is rewriting childhood faster than we can see.
Schools cling to old systems. Children are caught in between. This is the wake-up call.

For parents. For teachers. For anyone who refuses to let education fail our kids.

Quick. Powerful. Thought-provoking.

The Pull of the Program

“The glow keeps calling. So does the world they were made for.”

A piercing, poetic reminder of what childhood was meant to be: full of presence, play, wonder, risk, and becoming and of what truly helps them grow, imagine, and stay human.

For anyone who still believes childhood deserves more than a glowing screen. For anyone ready to choose presence over programming.

“We taught them to follow the map. Then changed the world beneath their feet.” — Sarah Kissane
