Why Kourtney Kardashian calls school system 'outdated'?
'The Kardashians' star says she often does things against the norm
May 21, 2025
Kourtney Kardashian Barker has some bold opinions about sending kids to school.
In a recent on Khloe's podcast, Khloé in Wonder Land, the Kardashian sisters recalled some of their good and bad memories.
During the conversation, Kourtney said she often goes against the norm, and Khloe inquired whether it was her true feelings or just a desire to stand out.
“No, I think living authentically is not conforming to whatever it is,” Kourtney responded to Khloe. “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."
The Lemme founder went on to explain, "Like, let’s say the school system. I’ll think, ‘Why do kids f****** go to school?’ Truly. It’s so dated," Kourtney says.
Agreeing with Kourtney's opinion on the school system, Khloe exclaimed, “Oh, I’m such a homeschooled person. So don’t even get me going.”
The mom of four recalled how her kids sent her videos of "successful people" whose children never enrolled in a school.
"And then I’m like, ‘What’s the goal here? You want to do homeschool? Let’s do it!’ Or whatever it is. I think it’s anything," Kourtney said.
Even when it comes to taking care of her children she goes the opposite way, like Kourtney noted she prefers caring for her children naturally—like nursing a fever instead of giving them medicine like 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 added.
It is pertinent to mention that Kourtney, shares children Mason, 15, Penelope, 12, and Reign, 10, with former partner Scott Disick and is also a mom to a 16-months-old son, Rocky, whom she shares with husband Travis Barker.
The Blink 182 drummer is also father to step-daughters Atiana, 25, son Landon, 21, and daughter Alabama, 19, whom he shares with ex-wife Shanna Moakler.
