'Why do kids even go to school?': Kourtney Kardashian sparks uproar with bold parenting rant on Khloé's podcast
Kourtney Kardashian Barker ignited controversy on Khloe Kardashian's podcast by questioning the relevance of traditional schooling. If you thought Kourtney Kardashian Barker had run out of bold takes, think again. The reality TV star and entrepreneur stirred up a whirlwind of controversy this week—not with a beauty launch or a family feud, but with a mic-drop musing on something most people take for granted: school. On the latest episode of Khloé in Wonder Land , hosted by her sister Khloe Kardashian, the 46-year-old mom of four took a detour from conventional celebrity chatter to challenge the very foundation of childhood routine. Sitting across from Khloe, Kourtney let loose a view that quickly had the internet buzzing: 'Why do kids f**king go to school? Truly. It's so dated.' Framed as a conversation about living authentically and rejecting societal molds, Kourtney's remarks stemmed from her self-proclaimed identity as a non-conformist. 'I love to just go against the grain,' she said, casually tossing away the idea that traditional education is a necessary rite of passage. And to many people's surprise, Khloe didn't bat an eye—instead, she leaned right in. 'Oh, I'm such a homeschool person. So don't even get me going,' Khloe responded enthusiastically, echoing her sister's sentiment. Together, the sisters painted a picture of a parenting style rooted in intuition and alternative choices, far removed from PTA meetings and pencil cases. Kourtney didn't stop at schooling. She pulled back the curtain on how she manages her children's health—spoiler alert: it doesn't involve a quick trip to the pharmacy. 'I will nurse the fever of my kids versus giving Tylenol or Ibuprofen,' she revealed, citing her preference for a more natural, hands-on approach to caregiving. 'I just want to do that,' she added, clarifying that while the rest of the world may slowly be shifting toward similar philosophies, the U.S. still lags behind. With four kids—Mason (15), Penelope (12), Reign (10), and baby Rocky (18 months)—Kourtney is no stranger to the highs and lows of parenting. And whether you agree with her or not, it's clear she's carving her own path, even if that means rewriting the parenting playbook page by page. For a Kardashian, courting controversy is second nature—but this time, it's not about body image, brand wars, or tabloid tiffs. Kourtney's provocative pondering over the relevance of the school system may have been casually dropped mid-podcast, but its ripple effect has been anything but casual. Online reactions have ranged from applause to outrage. Some praised her for questioning outdated systems and embracing homeschooling, while others slammed the remarks as out-of-touch and Kourtney Kardashian Barker raising a flag for educational reform—or simply flexing her star-powered independence in a way only a Kardashian can? Either way, one thing is clear: she's not afraid to ask the uncomfortable questions, even if it makes the internet erupt.

'Why do kids f**king go to school?': You're not prepared for Kourtney Kardashian hot take on parenting
We'd say Kourtney Kardashian Barker has landed herself in controversy, but then, again it's only a truly big deal if the subject of the crisis acknowledges it?! During a recent appearance on her sister Khloe Kardashian's podcast, Khloé in Wonder Land, the 46-year old mom of 4, shared her hot take on an incredibly formative chunk of one's childhood — schooling. Now we say hot take with immense seriousness, because ...what? Speaking to Khloe about what a non-conformist Kourtney believes she is, Mrs. Barker said, "I of started challenging the ways that we did things, sometimes the way that we just all function". Agreeing to this certain knack that Kourt has, Khloe added, "No, I know that era, and I hated it too. Now I sometimes feel like we're in that era. Sometimes". Reiterating her point, Kourtney said, "Well, I feel like I love to just go against the grain, I think". A post shared by Khloé Kardashian (@khloekardashian) Now getting to the crux of her argument, Kourtney said, "No, I think living authentically is not conforming to whatever it is. 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" — proceeding to drop the bomb: "Like, let's say the school system. I'll think, 'Why do kids f**king go to school?' Truly. It's so dated". A post shared by Kourtney Kardashian Barker (@kourtneykardash) Now this is where Khloe chimed agreement: "Oh, I'm such a homeschool person. So don't even get me going", she exclaimed. For context, Kourtney is mother to 4 children — 18-month old son Rocky, whom she shared with Travis Barker, and sons Mason, 15, and Reign, 10, as well as daughter Penelope, 12, whom she shares with ex-partner Scott Disick. Khloe on the other hand, shares 2 kids, daughter True, 7 and son, Tatum, 2, with former partner Tristan Thompson. Interestingly, this isn't the bit where the conversation ended. Kourtney even went on to elaborate how she actually prefers personally nursing her kids back to health, when say, they get a fever, instead of depending on medicines: "I will like, nurse the fever of my kids versus giving Tylenol or Ibuprofen. I just want to do that. 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)", she revealed. What do you think of parenting 101, Kourt-style?

Kourtney and Khloé Kardashian discuss sending kids to school being ‘so dated'
Kourtney Kardashian Barker is sharing her thoughts on the school system, including why she thinks it is 'so dated.' The oldest Kardashian sister recently appeared as a guest on Khloé Kardashian's 'Khloé in Wonder Land' podcast, which streams on X. During their wide-ranging conversation, Kardashian asked her sister to reveal her least favorite memory involving the two of them. Kardashian Barker explained why she wasn't a fan of the 'era' where Kardashian and sister Kim Kardashian would 'gang up on' her. The mom of four said she became 'sensitive' at the time and also started therapy, which led to her 'challenging' the status quo and how their family functioned. She then shared that rejecting norms extended to other areas of her life, like motherhood. 'I feel like I love to just go against the grain,' she said. 'I think living authentically is not conforming to whatever it is.' The 46-year-old reality television star continued, 'It's not (just) about our family. Like, let's say the school system. I'll think, 'Why do kids f— go to school, really? So dated.' Her younger sister chimed in to agree. 'Oh, I'm such a homeschool person. So, don't even get me going,' Kardashian said. Kardashian Barker shares three children — Mason Dash Disick, 15, Penelope Scotland Disick, 12, and Reign Aston Disick, 10 — with ex Scott Disick and 1-year-old son Rocky with husband Travis Barker. She said her kids send her videos dissecting the education system that feature 'really successful people' who never send their children to school. 'Then I'm like, OK, what's the goal here? You want to do homeschool? Let's do it,' Kardashian Barker said. Her unique parenting style impacts how she cares for her children, as well. 'I will, like, nurse the fever of my kids, versus giving Tylenol or Ibuprofen,' she added. 'I just, like, want to do that.' Kardashian Barker has discussed uncommon aspects of her parenting style in the past. In 2022, she revealed during an interview with WSJ Magazine that Mason, then 12, did not eat french fries for an entire year. 'Today I was having my one-on-one time with my son (Mason) and he said, 'Mom, I need McDonald's french fries today, please. It's been a year since I've had it.' I was like, 'Today's not the day, sorry,'' she said at the time. Kardashian Barker explained that while she enjoyed potato chips, Lunchables and more foods during her childhood, she decided to limit what her children eat. 'When I had Mason is when I really started my wellness journey,' she told the publication. 'He's very smart. He'll tell me, 'A person was bad because they let me have Cheetos.'' She also previously said, according to People, that she only feeds her children meals that do not contain gluten or dairy. This article was originally published on

I got sober 5 years ago. It changed the way I travel — for the better.
Nearly five years ago, I broke up with alcohol. I didn't yet know what it would mean for my day-to-day life, but I knew it would rattle my travel rhythm. No more hotel bar nightcaps. No more mid-flight Bloody Marys. And no more welcome-drink toasts after check-in. I braced for less fun and fewer indulgences. Yawning over sparkling water served in wine glasses. But the surprise was that sober travel turned out to be sharper, more vivid, and even more meaningful. I've realized it's not about what I'm missing, it's about what I get to experience. Over time, I've built a few habits that help me stay grounded, feel like myself, and let me fully revel in every trip. Here's what I do differently now. 1. I ask hotels to clear the minibar before I arrive In my first year of sobriety, I checked into a beautiful hotel in Athens, Greece, and immediately came face-to-face with a minibar glowing like a jewel box, packed with tiny gin bottles and chilled white wine. After a long travel day, that tiny, brightly lit fridge felt like a dare. Now, when I book a room, I ask in advance for the minibar to be emptied. Most hotels are happy to accommodate — some even offer to replace the booze with juices or snacks instead. It's a small move that takes temptation off the table and makes my room feel like a true retreat, not a test of willpower. 2. I build early-morning excursions into my itinerary One of sobriety's most underrated perks? How good mornings can feel when you're not nursing a hangover or searching for Ibuprofen in a foreign language. I've leaned into that by planning early-morning adventures, and some of them have become favorite memories, like a pre-dawn walk to Istanbul's Galata Bridge, where fishermen were already casting their lines, or my self-made 6 a.m. bakery crawl through Paris as the streets turned gold. At a resort in Hawaii, I fully became "that person" — up for every activity on the calendar, from sunrise yoga to beachside biking, all before most people had their coffee. Planning special mornings gives me a reason to skip nightcaps without fear of missing out; rather, I'm making space for something better. Plus, there's something electric about seeing a place wake up. In Japan, I wandered the stalls of Kyoto's Nishiki Market just as the shutters rolled open, exchanging quiet nods and sleepy smiles with shopkeepers prepping for the day. With the steam rising from pots of dashi and the sweet scent of melonpan in the air — a fluffy bun — it felt like I'd been let in on a secret. 3. I have a go-to one-liner for social events Traveling means meeting new people and inevitably, facing drink offers. Early on, I stumbled through awkward explanations. Now, I keep it breezy and simple, like "I'm good with what I have, thanks!" or "I'm on a cleanse." Most of the time, people don't care. I figure the ones who do aren't my problem. Once, after I abstained on a boat in the Greek Islands, a fellow traveler raised his wine glass and said, "Well, more for me," and launched into a soliloquy about his failed Dry January. Having a line in my pocket is less about convincing someone else and more about keeping myself from overthinking it. 4. I bring comfort items with me Back when hotel bars were my wind-down routine, I was reaching for a type of familiarity. Now, I intentionally pack comfort items so I don't end up seeking that feeling elsewhere: a favorite herbal tea tucked into my carry-on, a podcast or audiobook I save only for travel nights, and a palm-sized journal that smells faintly like the German bookstore I bought it in. They're tiny totems, but when I'm jet-lagged in an unfamiliar place, they anchor me. 5. I still chase indulgence Even though booze isn't in the picture anymore, I'm not interested in depriving myself. So I look for what's special in each location I visit and chase the best versions of it. These days, I trade cocktails for other indulgences, like tracking down the silkiest matcha in Kyoto, blending custom perfume at a Mexico City atelier, and splurging on foot rubs in Bangkok that leave me nearly levitating. Five years ago, I thought giving up alcohol would mean giving up an essential part of my travel life — martinis in airport bars, something fizzy on arrival. But it turns out clarity has its own excitement. Now I remember everything: The velvet hush when I was among the first visitors in Musée d'Orsay, the way my neighborhood in Tokyo smelled like warm soy and steel, a conversation with a woman who sold savory fry jacks on a corner in Belize.
