In today's episode...

Right then, you’ve got the lowdown on our chinwag with me old fella, Dad! This week on Aussie English, we’re throwin’ it back a bit and having a yarn about primary school in Oz.

Join Pete and his legendary old man, Ian, as they chew the fat about how things were back in the day compared to what the little tackers are up to now.

We’re talkin’ everything from massive classrooms and gettin’ the cane (yep, seriously!) to whether our current schooling system is still up to scratch. It’s a fair dinkum look at how far we’ve come, and maybe how far we still gotta go!

Keen for a bit of a nostalgic trip down memory lane and a good ol’ Aussie conversation? Give this episode a crack! You won’t wanna miss it.
