“Back to School Shock: A Parent Reacts to a Beginner’s Stationery List”

Loading player...
Starting school should be exciting — but for many parents, the stationery list can come as a real shock. In this episode, we sit down with a parent to unpack what’s on a beginner’s stationery list and why some of the items leave parents stunned, stressed, and financially stretched.

We talk about the cost of education from day one, whether all these items are really necessary, and how parents are coping as the school year approaches. It’s an honest, relatable conversation that many families will see themselves in — especially those preparing to send a child to school for the very first time.

Perfect for parents, caregivers, and anyone interested in the real cost of education today 🎒
