As a mom facing kindergarten choices, Kayla critiques the industrial-age education system designed to create compliant workers — not creative, sovereign beings. Teachers are burnt out. Standardized testing has replaced mastery-based learning. And children are being punished for not fitting into a broken system.

But here's the truth: Children are not the problem.

Younger generations are arriving with higher consciousness and a deep knowing that they're sovereign. They're pushing back because they refuse to be indoctrinated. They need a different system — one that allows them to think critically, trust their inner power, create meaningfully, and contribute to humanity.

Kayla explores the Alpha School model (AI tutoring, mastery-based, 2-hour academic days, afternoon life skills) as one reimagining. But the real message: Stop blaming kids, teachers, and parents. We need systems where everyone thrives — not barely hangs on by a thread.

The future isn't about training cogs for the machine. It's about cultivating sovereign, creative humans ready to co-create the new Earth.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why industrial-age education no longer works
• Teacher burnout and the blame cycle (stop it)
• Younger kids have HIGHER consciousness, not lower
• Standardized testing vs. mastery-based learning
• The Alpha School model and AI tutoring
• Why personal tutoring has always been most effective
• Creativity is being squashed in our schools
• Future jobs are project-based and cross-disciplinary
• Children need time to BE, not just DO
• Stop blaming an entire generation

This is a wake-up call. It starts with us.

Welcome to Liberation Wisdom.

I'm Kayla Moore, a sacred feminine priestess in training and guide on the path of walking as love in a world of chaos.

This podcast is for seekers, healers and anyone who feels the old world crumbling.

And the new one trying to be born.

Each episode we explore how to liberate ourselves from patriarchal wounds, weave the divine feminine and divine masculine back into harmony and witness the real tangible evidence of the new earth manifesting through collective consciousness shifts.

This isn't about bypassing the darkness, it's.

About alchemizing grief and rage into fuel for co creating what comes next.

We are the light and the love.

When we choose love and peace internally,.

We are also sending those vibrations to be mirrored the world around us.

This is Liberation Wisdom.

Always choose love.

Welcome back beloveds, to the Liberation Wisdom Podcast.

I am Kayla Moore, your host, priestess in training and feminine liberation coach.

I'm here to help us liberate ourselves from patriarchal conditioning, help us weave the divine feminine and divine masculine back into the fabric of who we are as humanity and also walk as love in the chaos of this world that we find ourselves in to hold the frequency of new Earth.

So welcome.

Today I want to talk about a little bit more of a like a side topic, but it's something that's been really weighing on my heart that I really wanted to speak to as a mama of a four year old son and just something I'm wondering about as a spiritual parent, someone who is thinking about what the possibilities are for kindergarten coming up in a year.

My son is about to finish up his year of preschool and then next year goes into pre K and then we'll be in kindergarten the following year.

So we have essentially one more year before kindergarten starts.

And it's a lot to think about what this school system and just education system in general is like right now and how that will shape him moving forward and how I don't actually love where the academic and education system is right now in terms of what, what the values are and what it's supposed to lead to eventually.

So before I dive into that, I want to just very quickly again remind you about the Holy Rage circle that is taking place tonight, May 29th from 6 to 8pm at the Touch of Marrakey in Gig Harbor, Washington.

I'm sure there are many of you out there that might be feeling like this is so cool, but I'm obviously not able to come in person.

Please know I'm trying not to put any timeline on this because I don't know exactly how long it will take me to really flesh this out, but my goal is for it to be done sooner ish rather than later.

I so this circle that I'm putting on is the precursor to the temple that I am creating.

It is called the Walk as Love Temple.

And I have created now my blueprint for what the the offerings of that temple will be.

And there will be a tier that is just an online membership tier.

And with that membership, you will get this online circle every month that I am going to put on an in person Holy Rage circle and an online Holy Rage circle, I think on the full moon or at least around the full moon every month.

So if you are like, I really want to do this, and I hope that she has an online version of this soon.

It is coming.

It is coming your way.

So please stay tuned.

And I am thinking that I will have this as an event that will be part of my launch process for the Wonka's Love Temple.

So again, stay tuned.

I am trying to get everything underway on this and I really do want to be able to include a lot of the people that have given me so much support and love around this, but are not local to me.

So stay tuned.

Again, this circle is for anyone feeling the weight of the world or the weight of this stuff shifting in their life that really wants to feel it all, release it all, and then change the world from the inside out.

So the arc is feeling the grief, feeling the rage, then using the little bits of pleasure and joy that we get from feeling that to then really ground ourselves and move it into a full embodied expression of joy and pleasure.

And then from that place, we hold the vision and the frequency together.

It's amplified with multiple people in the room.

We stand either shoulder to shoulder, arm and arm, and we are going to hold our own vision for what heaven on earth could look like, what we want, this society, this earth, this planet, all of it, to look like moving forward.

Because when we hold that vision and we hold that frequency, we are magnetizing it to us.

We are manifesting it into our reality and we are telling the universe this is what we want.

We don't want what we see out there right now.

This is what we want, and it'll help to come in faster.

So there is a mission to this.

This is not just for us, even though it's very therapeutic and it's also creating community.

And then we are also helping the collective when we are able to alchemize and move through these emotions into joy and pleasure.

That alone is Dissolving what is in the collective as well.

We are taking our own pain, our own grief and rage, but it's also, again, symbolic and part of the collective grief and rage.

So when we are alchemizing it, we are also alchemizing grief and rage in the collective as well.

So that alone is helping the collective and then also holding the vision for the future is helping the collective too.

So this is all about helping humanity.

It's about helping ourselves.

It's about being in community and helping humanity in that way of like really finding people that we can lean on together and love on each other with and then really showing the universe that this is what we want.

So if that resonates with you, please go down in the show notes and take a look and see if that is something that you want to partake in tonight.

Okay, let's dive into my thoughts on education system and the younger generations in general.

So again, I'm a mom of a four year old and the conversation of kindergarten has come up a lot in the parent group that I'm in.

We kind of are all asking each other, like, what are you going to do for kindergarten?

And I am a big proponent of public school.

I think public school is so important.

It is the great equalizer to all humanity in terms of being able to have a right to education.

And it is so important for a democracy.

So I want to put that out there.

I am not a hater on public school.

I really actually think public school is so, so necessary and so needed.

The thing that I'm critiquing is the way that our just school curriculum and like reason for going to school has been created.

So our current way of teaching with like a teacher at the front of the classroom with many kids was developed after the Industrial revolution because they wanted to train children to be members of society and to be workers in the factories and, you know, where they needed workers.

School is a vehicle for kids to learn and to grow and to get the education that they needed to then enter the workforce.

And this has really been, you know, it's obviously shifted and changed over the decades as work has transformed, as technology has grown and more and more jobs are online.

That has shifted some of what we teach, but it has still always stayed pretty consistent in terms of teacher up front, who is the knowledge base and is teaching from their knowledge base to the students.

And you know, I don't know exactly when like standardized testing came online, but nowadays, I mean, teachers are basically only teaching to test.

They are not really looking at whether or not kids are learning to mastery in terms of like, being at their own level of knowledge and then growing in their level of knowledge to a level of mastery to where they can move on to the next thing.

They are basically just teaching from one standpoint and helping the kids as much as they possibly can in the individualized way that they need.

But there's so much limitation on what one teacher can do in that capacity of like 20 to 30, sometimes more than 30 students in a classroom.

And then, you know, take all the other things that have come online of like neurodivergence and our understanding of emotional health and awareness.

And there's just like so many new things that we know about child development now that teachers are now having to take on, just as parents are having to take on as awareness something that we are aware of in our children and how we are working to help develop them in those different areas of development.

And I just don't think that our education system has really developed enough to provide the need that all the kids really have.

And it's.

It's no one's fault.

I absolutely love teachers and I want them to succeed so badly, but they are playing off of an old playbook that no longer works.

I don't know how I got into this, like, rabbit hole online, but I have been shown a few videos of ex teachers that then, you know, play different reactions that teachers out there are having to students.

And there's a lot at least, you know, again, I don't know what percentage of teachers are feeling this way, but it does seem that either teachers are just very burnt out because they have way too much on their plate.

There's way too much responsibility that a teacher has to take on right now other than teaching children.

So there's that, but there's also this idea that children are.

They're no longer adhering to the ways in which they are supposed to act and to follow direction in an education system.

And they're playing from a playbook where again, they are taking power over children.

They are saying, you need to follow directions.

I am commanding the classroom.

I am the authoritative, sometimes authoritarian leader in the classroom.

And they have to command it so that, you know, everyone's paying attention and following directions and learning again, like their place in that room.

But essentially it teaches them to learn their place in society and to be able to follow directions and comply with societal expectations.

And I just, I don't agree with that and I don't love that.

So as a parent now, and you know, I went through that education system.

I did go to private school, so I will give that disclaimer.

I did not go through the public school system, but it doesn't really matter.

Public school or private school at this point, like, it's all the same way of teaching.

And I also went through that.

I personally was somebody that loved.

Love school because I love learning.

But as I look back at kind of that indoctrination of work ethic and pushing myself to a point of burnout, that did really start in school, and it started young, and I didn't really realize it until I started really thinking about how I don't want my child to experience that.

And especially then into college and grad school.

I mean, you're just pushed so far that it's not healthy for our bodies.

And then we see it reflected in the teachers, too.

Again, like, they are way overloaded.

Pretty much everyone, I feel like, in the school system is overloaded.

No matter what role you play.

There are so many passionate people that love what they do, but are so overwhelmed because this system is no longer working.

And so then there is this blaming that I think is coming from different sides, that the parents are blaming the teachers, the teachers are blaming the students and the parents.

I mean, I've.

Again, I've.

In this rabbit hole online.

I've heard teachers talking about how just, you know, these kids are unteachable and they're rude and have no, like, basic understanding of how to follow directions.

And.

And I've also heard of, like, teachers trying to negotiate and, like, give them rewards and things for doing homework and whatnot.

And I'm like, this is the exact reflection of I'm having with my child of trying to figure out, okay, I actually need healthier and stronger boundaries with my kiddo.

And we're no longer, like, negotiating on things that aren't meant to be negotiated on.

But I think just in general, like, this system is not set up anymore for what these children need.

And so to take it into a spiritual lens and context, I really believe that every generation is here to teach humanity something.

Every generation is born with.

I think a little bit different understanding of who we are as humanity and are kind of, like, not programmed the same way as a previous generation, that they are no longer willing to put up with some of the things that previous generations came into the world being okay with.

And there's nothing wrong with that.

It's just part of our evolution.

And I think where humanity has become trapped is in.

It's almost like a trauma response where it's like we know what we've experienced and we know the hardship of it.

And so then instead of wanting something different and better for the younger generations, we just see them doing it differently.

And we think, how dare you do it differently?

This is how I had to go through it.

This is how I had to struggle.

And so you have to do it the same way.

You have to struggle and understand what it was to go through that just as I did.

And unfortunately, like, that's not how evolution works.

Like our, the children are coming into this world with a slightly different understanding of their soul, what it means to be human, and I think are slightly more awake in the spiritual understanding.

We come into a human form as a soul to learn because Earth is hard and being in a 3D physical body is hard.

And we go through a lot of hardship as a human to learn and to grow.

And so every generation comes in and we are not able to remember our full like history as a soul that we forget that we are a soul.

We forget that we are part of source and part of the collective because it serves a purpose for our soul to go through the challenges and the growth that it needs.

But I think especially where we are right now in our evolution and our rising into higher consciousness, the younger generations are coming in with more remembering that they don't have to go through these like awakened, enlightened moments as much anymore because they're already coming in remembering more than we did.

And they're remembering that they don't want to be indoctrinated into all this crap.

They don't want to follow directions just to follow directions and just to be told how to do something when they already know.

Again, they are sovereign beings.

They know that they are sovereign even if they don't like consciously intellectually understand it.

They have a deep knowing and they're pushing back hard.

Trust me, as a four year old mom, they push back.

And holding boundaries with them is hard, is not as easy as I think it once was, and it's exhausting.

And as adults, like we are all, especially as millennials, we are like the first generation.

We're like the bridge generation.

That is the first parent generation to be like, dealing with our own trauma while also trying to like minimize the trauma that we are giving to our children.

And you know, teachers are in the same boat.

They are also working through their own stuff while being triggered by the children in their classroom.

My point here is I just want there to stop being the blaming that is going around.

Teachers are doing their best but they're playing from an old playbook.

Parents are doing their best.

They are also playing from an old playbook that they are having to figure out in real time.

How does this work for my child?

The children are not the problem.

That is my main goal here is to talk about that.

The children are not the problem.

They are coming in with a higher consciousness already than we have ever had.

And they are demanding us to be different because they want the consciousness to rise on this planet so that they can be fully themselves.

I just listened to somebody talk about that.

They actually have slightly different DNA than we do.

And they are waiting for the consciousness and the frequency to rise so that they can be fully engaged with the DNA that they have that isn't able to, like, I guess, fully activate yet.

And I just think there's a lot of blame going around of why this system isn't working, let alone the fact that, like, our government totally gutted the Education Department.

And I won't get into the politics of education in the United States and how it's governed by the states and all of that, but still, like, you know, the school system do not have a lot of support right now.

Again, regardless of whether it's public school, private school, no matter what, we are teaching from a place of trying to control versus allowing children to bloom and blossom in the way that they need to.

So when it comes to education, a school has come into my awareness that I've gotten very excited about and it is called the Alpha School.

It started in Texas and has moved out into other states and is trying to expand band.

I believe it's still considered like a charter school, but they come at education from a completely different place and realm.

And it is based on how.

How can we help kids really understand the basics of what they need to learn.

The, like, curriculum that all kids have to learn from kindergarten through high school, but in the quickest and most effective way possible.

And right now that is using AI.

And I know there's a lot of controversy around AI.

I still don't have a good grasp around exactly where AI is and where it's going to go and if we're going to continue to use it, if we're going to get sick of it, I don't know.

Not sure.

But this particular way of using AI, it's not using a chatbot.

It's using a program that is trained to essentially act as a personal tutor for children.

If we think way back in the days where we didn't have, like, formal schooling, usually it was the rich that were able to, you know, afford to have tutors that would come and teach their children.

But that's like, how children used to learn was from a private tutorial that they would have a teacher come and, like, teach them in their homes.

And that has been shown through research.

It sounds like.

I have not read the research, but it sounds like from the people I listen to that through the research that has consistently shown that that is the best way for children to learn because they learn through mastery.

They are assessed daily, sometimes like in the moment, on where they are in their understanding of a certain topic and then given the challenge that they need to move to the next step.

So we're not having everyone be at the same level all the time.

We're having each individual student be helped in the way that they need in that specific moment with that specific curriculum.

And the great thing that I love is that they are able to do their academics in two hours a day, roughly two hours a day.

And it is, you know, also dependent upon their age group and whatnot.

But they are able to do that in two hours a day.

And they have teachers that are paid extremely well.

They are given the, like, bottom tier is a hundred thousand dollars a year, which makes these schools extremely expensive.

And that is the biggest downfall I think, that they have right now.

But the way that they teach, I really enjoy.

And the teachers are not there to be the sources of information.

They are there to help guide and be almost like a coach that they help kids deal with the difficulty of doing something hard.

They help coach them through when they get stuck and how to figure their way out through a hard situation.

They help motivate them and help teach them emotional regulation and, like, how to move from a place of, again, making decisions that are the best for them in the moment.

And I just.

I love this model.

And so they only do curriculum in the morning.

They do, like, two hours in the morning.

Then they get a break for lunch, it sounds like.

And then in the afternoon, they do all life skills.

They learn all about all different types of life skills and how to, you know, anything from baking to sewing, but even not just at that level of, like, how to basically, like, run your life and different things that you need to run your life.

It sounds like there is that element.

But then as they get older, it's like, how do you use those skills to then create a business or to, like, help your community?

And that's exactly what we need in this moment.

Children are wanting to think critically.

They are wanting to use their Passions and their gifts for something that is for themselves, but also for the collective.

And again, if we look at humanity, evolution, we no longer want to just train children to be cogs in a system.

Nobody wants that anymore.

Nobody wants to be a cog in a system.

I will also say that this school does not have homework.

They only do their schoolwork during those two hours and then they learn life skills and then they go home and then they get to be a kid and they get to live life and they get to explore their passions and they get to be with their family and, and learn from what it means to be in a family unit and in their community.

I think we've forgotten that what we learn just by living and by being.

We've been so inundated in the doing, doing, doing productivity all the time, this like intense over masculine or hyper masculine way of doing life and being in the world that we have forgotten what it means to just be and how much we can actually learn from being out in the world.

Having different experiences, experiencing different cultures, being with their.

They need to also be children.

Imagine us working, you know, an eight hour day and then coming home and being expected to work even more.

And I know some people do, but is that something that you actually want and is that something that you want for your child?

Children that are actually still growing and still developing and need actually more rest and more time for play and more time to express themselves.

We need to be very much limiting them to the like work that they are expected to do so that they have more time to grow and play and to experience what it means to be fully human.

Because then the creativity comes online.

I was talking to a friend the other day and I was talking about her kiddo that's in high school.

And to me it sounded like their creativity has been squashed.

And I could be wrong, but it just feels like once kids get to high school, get to college, they're so indoctrinated into I only do something if somebody tells me how to do it, because that's how I've been taught.

And then we punish them for not having any creativity.

And it's like, duh, they don't have any creativity because we beat it out of them.

They don't know how to like go inside themselves and figure out something that is exciting and passionate for them and then bring it forth out into the world because we never told them and allowed them how to do that.

So that is our future though.

That is the future that we need to be cultivating in our younger generations is having them be able to think critically, having them trust in their sovereignty and their inner power, having them experience so many different cultures or different modalities and ways of doing things so that they can use their creativity to like, kind of like AI does, to survey all different disciplines and then put it together in their own unique way and create something that's meaningful in this life, that gives them purpose, but then also helps us as humanity.

That's going to be the way of the future.

You know, they've talked about how we're not just training for jobs anymore.

Jobs are going to either in my opinion, be completely non existent, which would be fantastic, or they're going to be very like project based and you're going to be doing it across multiple disciplines.

It's not like you're going to go do this one type of job for the rest of your life.

You're really going to have to know how do I create?

How do I essentially be like a entrepreneur, that I have skills that I can go and say, hey, I have the skill, what company needs my skill.

And I can do it in any type of situation because I'm very trained and passionate about these, you know, maybe one skill or multiple skills that I have.

So the way that the, the education system that we have right now is set up, it's just not set up for the future.

For what I see the future being and for what I'm hearing as technology comes more online again, AI is kind of a big question mark.

There's so many things that's like, it could go this way, it could go that way.

I'm not going to be an expert on AI right now, but depending on where that goes, there's just so much that's going to shift.

And regardless of where our future goes, we are no longer going to be where we are today.

We are no longer going to be in a place where kids are learning specific skills to then apply to one specific job that they are going to be in for the rest of their life.

And they're meant to just like be in a job, work themselves to death, try to save some money so that they can have some type of retirement, have a family and then die.

Like I just one.

I don't think any human wants this to be the reality that we have anymore.

So I think our reality is shifting because it's, it's not soul giving.

People's souls are like crying out saying we did not sign up to do this.

There's so much more creativity, there's so many Things that we are not doing because we are forcing ourselves to be productive and to make money for these huge corporations that don't give a shit about us.

There's so much to that.

There's so much to the fabric of society just collapsing.

And so who knows, who knows where we will be in 5, 10, 15, 20 years?

But my point here is, one, children are not the problem.

Two, they are coming in way more light and aware and in higher consciousness than we are.

Three, they need a different style system, a different education system that is going to support them in who they are individually as creative human beings, as creative emotional human beings that allows everyone involved, teachers, parents, faculty, like everyone involved to thrive instead of feeling like we're barely hanging on by a thread.

And selfishly, then give myself peace of mind that I have a choice for kindergarten that isn't feeling like I'm going to sacrifice something for my child.

Because as much as I love this Alpha school, one, they're not in my area yet, so that's a problem.

And two, I have heard that they are just, like, astronomically expensive, and that's also a barrier.

They do have a homeschool program, and homeschool is also an option.

But also, I'm not somebody that really wants to homeschool.

I, like, want my kid to, like, go out and experience life outside of just my home environment.

He loves school right now.

He loves being with his friends.

He loves, like, the experience of going to school right now.

And I want him to keep that.

I don't want that to diminish.

And I've heard so many accounts from parents with their kids where they go to school and their light just dims because it's no longer an environment that they feel supported and safe and creative in.

And even to the point of kids really contemplating suicide.

And from somebody that has worked with kids, is a trained therapist, that terrifies me.

And that, like, breaks my heart into a million pieces.

So I am like, no, we are not doing that.

And it's up to us adults to create a different environment for these children to thrive.

It is not their fault.

It is us needing to understand that this is no longer the system that is working for anyone and we need to be the ones to change it.

All right, my loves, thank you so much for listening.

Thank you so much for hearing my rant and understanding where I'm coming from.

As a mama, I really have absolutely no judgment to anyone, to any type of parent that has made any type of decision around their child's education.

Again, whether you're a public school parent, a private school parent, a homeschool parent, a let's go travel the world and teach our child through that style of learning parent, which is becoming a lot more popular.

Like whatever, whatever type of parent you are, whatever type of teacher you are, there's absolutely no judgment.

I just want us to stop blaming each other and to actually come together and find a solution.

And in no circumstance should we ever be blaming children.

If a whole generation you are seen as like the problem.

I think we need to look elsewhere because we cannot be blaming a whole generation of children for doing it wrong and for not accepting the made up societal structure that we created.

So we need to do better and we need to do it differently and we need to figure it out soon so that I can figure out where to send my child to kindergarten.

All right, I love you all and I will talk to you in the next episode.

Take care.
