Episode 19: Issues Facing Today’s School System (Eva de Gosztonyi)

Delaying school entry, early academic instruction, homework, mobile phones, children’s mental health, and the pressure teachers face. These are some of the issues currently being discussed by parents, educators, and experts in the Czech Republic.

In this episode of Making Sense of People , we speak again with school psychologist Eva de Gosztonyi. When is a child ready to start school? Should children have access to mobile phones during breaks? Does homework actually improve learning? Together, we explore how to create a school environment that supports not only academic achievement, but also relationships and healthy development. We also talk about the pressure teachers face and what can help them navigate challenging situations in the classroom.

Eva shares her many years of experience and knowledge in school and developmental psychology. This episode builds on our first conversation together, which was released as Episode 6 of the podcast.
