Episode Synopsis

Dear Teacher,We see you. The spark you started with is still in there — buried maybe, but not broken. You wanted to change lives. Instead, you’re wading through reports, watching bright eyes dim. It’s enough to make anyone question everything.In this Alchemising Education convo, QuantiMama Jodi and Kerri sit down with Jonathan Zalunardo — ex-teacher, founder of Apogee Australia, and proud builder of the new. He spent years trying to make the old model work. It didn’t. So he left, not in defeat, but in devotion — to kids, to parents, and to what school could actually be.Over 50% of Aussie teachers say they’ll quit within five years[1].And who could blame them? When your gut says this isn’t it, but the system says stick it out, the misalignment corrodes more than just your weekdays. Jonathan listened to that inner nudge — and now works alongside families to reimagine learning from the ground up.This episode isn’t about burning it all down. It’s about choosing something better — together.If you're a parent or teacher quietly thinking there must be another way, this one’s for you. Grab a cuppa. The conversation’s already started.Sources [1] Australian Education Union – State of our Schools Report (2024)Send us a textLoved this convo? Come deeper.
