Kat Clark, a 37-year-old Australian, said she would take her 12-year-old daughter out of school to focus on her career as an influencer.
The woman has 5.2 million followers on TikTok. The influencer hosts the Australian podcast “Basically Besties” with her daughters Latisha, 20, and Deja, 12.
In accordance with daily mail, In another “She’s All That” podcast, the influencer revealed that traditional teaching helped her youngest daughter in elementary school because she worked for a company. “Since I started my new career, I have to travel a lot. I fly to Sydney often,” he said.
“Deja is also getting opportunities, so the school schedule of 9am to 3pm, Monday to Friday is not suitable for us because we realize that we have had to pick her up from school many times,” he added.
According to the same source, the woman also said she had enrolled her daughter in homeschooling for next year and said it was “perfect timing” since Deja could still return to a traditional school if she didn’t like the new lifestyle.
Another daughter, Latisha, graduated from high school and went to law school, but dropped out six months later to focus on podcasting.
Online, Australians shared the sentiment: “No, school is too important.”
“I hated school and my parents made me finish it so I could spend a semester at university,” another user said.
“As a high school teacher, I think this is absolutely great! Why force a child to stay in school if it’s not for him,” said another.
