Kourtney Kardashian believes sending children to school is 'so dated'
Kourtney Kardashian has argued the conventional school system is "so dated".
During the latest episode of the Khloé in Wonder Land podcast on Wednesday, host Khloé Kardashian asked her older sister about their differing parenting styles.
In response, Kourtney explained that she has no desire to "conform" to what other people do.
"Once I started therapy, I kind of started challenging the ways we did things sometimes, the way we all functioned. I love to just go against the grain. I do it with everything," she said. "Like the school system, I'll think, 'Why do kids f**king go to school?' Truly, it's so dated. So, then I'll start thinking, 'O.K. what's the goal here? Want to do homeschool? Let's do it.'"
Kourtney shares Mason, 15, Penelope, 12, and Reign, 10, with former partner Scott Disick, and 18-month-old son Rocky with husband Travis Barker.
And the reality TV star recalled how she preferred to breastfeed rather than give medication to her children when they were babies.
"I think living authentically is not conforming, to whatever it is... I will like nurse the fever of my kids versus giving Tylenol (paracetamol) or ibuprofen. I just want to do that," the 46-year-old continued.
Elsewhere in the conversation, Kourtney revealed that she sometimes holds Rocky for the duration of his naps.
"With the attachment style parenting, I hold him for his naps," she explained, noting she once cradled the infant for five hours. "I'll sit in my little chair, usually in the room, and then I still have my little breastfeeding pillow, and he'll kind of lay on there with my arms under, and then I have a little radiation blanket that I put over to protect from EMFs (electromagnetic fields)."

Gibson is searching for an iconic movie guitar
Lost to the Future - The Search for Marty McFly's Back to the Future Guitar Gibson is on the hunt for one very special guitar: The cherry red Gibson ES-345 used by Marty McFly to play Chuck Berry's Johnny B Goode in the 1985 hit movie Back to the Future. Remember it? Course you do. To mark the movie's 40th anniversary, the legendary guitar maker has decided it wants to track down the whereabouts of the iconic instrument, and it's even called on those connected to the movie to help it in its quest. In a star-filled video (top) released on Tuesday, Back to the Future lead Michael J. Fox says: 'We need your help. We're trying to find the guitar I played in Back of the Future. It's somewhere lost in the space-time continuum … or it's in some Teamster's garage.' The actor adds: ' If you know where it is, if you know who has it, call us, text us.' Christopher Lloyd, who played the mad scientist Dr. Emmett Brown in the movie, also chimes in, saying: 'Somehow, it's vanished … This guitar has been lost to the future.' Ah, lost to the future, that's catchy. Well, it turns out that the search for the Gibson ES-345 will form the basis of a documentary called just that: Lost to the Future. The project appears designed to engage fans of both the movie and the guitar, while also documenting the guitar's impact and its mysterious disappearance. On the YouTube page featuring Fox et al, Gibson elaborates: 'When it comes to guitars in movies, no guitar was more iconic or more influential than the cherry red Gibson ES-345 used by Marty McFly to play Johnny B Goode in the movie Back to the Future. That scene has been cited by countless artists as the moment they knew they wanted to play guitar.' It adds: 'One problem: the guitar has been missing since 1985, and no one knows its whereabouts.' The documentary team will apparently 'search the globe' for what Gibson insists is 'the most important guitar in cinema history.' Guess Spinal Tap's 'never played' guitar doesn't quite cut it. So, Back to the Future's Gibson ES-345. Do you know where it is?

Alex Cora takes ownership after another Red Sox loss: ‘At one point, it has to be on me'
BOSTON — Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora usually keeps the same steady tone after wins and after losses. To him, it's necessary throughout a long season not to read too much into one game. Not Tuesday. After the team's major-league leading 17th one-run loss this season, a 4-3 defeat to the Los Angeles Angels in 10 innings, Cora didn't hold back his frustration. Advertisement 'We keep making the same mistakes, we're not getting better,' Cora said. 'At one point, it has to be on me, I guess, right? I'm the manager. I got to keep pushing them to get better. They're not getting better. They're not. We keep making the same mistakes. 'I'm being very honest about it. Very open about it,' he continued. 'You get frustrated, but at one point it's like, 'OK, what are we going to do? What's going to change?' Because we keep doing the same thing, same thing. We can keep talking about one-run losses, we have what, 17? It's the same thing. Is it effort? Preparation? Attention to detail? I have no idea, man. I watched that game tonight and was like, 'Wow this is real.' It's frustrating.' The visceral emotion from Cora was rare for the manager in his seventh season at the helm, a manager who just signed a three-year contract extension last summer. But the brutal nature of the way the team has lost so often this season has compounded the frustrations. The team's defense, which had been better of late, regressed on Tuesday with three errors. It marked their 16th multi-error game of the season and 10th such game at Fenway Park. With 53 errors, they surpassed Colorado for the most in the majors. Ceddanne Rafaela's wild throw home in the third inning moved runners into scoring position, allowing two extra runs to score. Kristian Campbell botched a grounder later in the game and reliever Zack Kelly couldn't field a ball cleanly off the mound in extra innings. 'What you saw today, routine groundballs for double plays we don't turn, we throw to the wrong bases, we miss cutoff guys, PFPs (pitcher fielding plays) were horrible,' Cora said. 'So there's a lot of bad right now.' Starter Brayan Bello pitched six innings for the first time since May 2 after a month of awful starts. He allowed three runs, but the offense couldn't bail him out. Advertisement Jarren Duran hit an RBI double in the third and Rafaela's two-run homer in the sixth tied the score 3-3, but there was little else to show from there. In the 10th, Kelly, who was recalled earlier in the day as reliever Nick Burdi went on the injury list with a foot contusion, was ineffective. Kelly loaded the bases, and the Angels scored the go-ahead run on a ground-ball double play. Despite 10 hits on the night, Cora lamented the chances the Red Sox gave the Angels. 'Missed the cutoff guy, they score two, we hit the eighth hitter, we walk the ninth hitter, we didn't execute a bunt play, we didn't advance when we needed to,' the manager said. 'You can talk about chances. I can tell you the chances we gave the opposition. We were lucky to be in that game at the end, to be honest with you.' The Red Sox now sit at 29-34, their most games below .500 on the season. They're 10 games back of first place in the American League East. Asked where the team could go from here, a listless Cora didn't have many answers. 'Show up tomorrow. Show up tomorrow, that's all we can do,' he said.

A leaping catch, happy tears, and a win: How TJ Friedl saved the Reds
CINCINNATI (AP) — In what has been a frustrating first season with the Cincinnati Reds, manager Terry Francona was able to shed some happy tears Tuesday night courtesy of a game-saving catch. TJ Friedl made a leaping grab in center field for the final out to rob pinch-hitter Jake Bauers of a tying home run in the Reds' 4-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. 'We couldn't tell if Friedl caught it. We were just kinda goin' on his body language,' Francona said. 'That was certainly a nice feeling. You may have seen a grown man cry.' The Reds appeared to lock up the win when Caleb Durbin hit a grounder to Elly De La Cruz, but the shortstop's throw to first base was high and sailed into the camera well for an error, allowing Durbin to reach second base. Bauers got ahead in the count 2-1 before he got the barrel on a fastball by Emilio Pagán. According to MLB's Statcast, the ball had a 95% hit probability, but Friedl did a nice job of tracking it and timed his jump perfectly to help the Reds snap a three-game losing streak. 'I knew it was hit well off the bat. I think it was probably when I was coming close to the warning track that I thought, I could have a chance at this,' Friedl said. Milwaukee manager Pat Murphy brought in Bauers because of his experience in late-game situations. It almost resulted in the third pinch-hit homer of his career. 'It's hard to get it out of here in center when it gets later in the evening. It was such a line drive I knew it was going to be close,' Murphy said after the Brewers had their eight-game winning streak snapped. 'It was a great play by Friedl. You play to the last pitch and he made it.' It was the second time in three years Friedl made a homer-saving catch in center at Great American Ball Park. The previous time came against the club Francona managed for 11 seasons, when Friedl robbed Cleveland's Ramón Laureano of a two-run shot during the third inning on Aug. 16, 2023. Friedl and the other Reds outfielders worked on making plays at the wall before Monday's series opener against Milwaukee. When he robbed Laureano, they practiced it before that game, too. 'Maybe we should work on it a lot,' Friedl said. Francona wasn't the only one relieved. Pagán thought he made a great pitch to Bauers. 'I didn't realize he hit it so well. I turned around and saw that TJ was making a sprint. The way this game works, you prepare and do the right things,' Pagán said. The win improved the Reds' record to 30-32 with a chance to snap a string of 11 consecutive series losses to the Brewers. Cincinnati is nine games behind the first-place Chicago Cubs in the NL Central and four back in the wild-card race. Whether Friedl's heroics can serve as a catalyst for a win streak remains to be seen. 'Your guess is as good as mine. We're just going to continue to go out every day and control what we can control and play our game. And then we'll see what ends up,' Friedl said. 'It's a long season, so we're going to continue to go out there and play the best baseball.' ___ AP MLB:
