'Why do kids even go to school?': Kourtney Kardashian sparks uproar with bold parenting rant on Khloé's podcast

Send Push
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.”

Homeschool Hearts and Anti-Conformity Feels
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.

Healing Without the Medicine Cabinet
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.

From Poosh to Podcasts: Controversy Is Kourtney’s Comfort Zone
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 privileged.

Is 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.
