Obsolete: The Education Wake-Up Call

Rate this book
We’re still preparing kids for a world that doesn’t exist.

Childhood is changing. Attention is fragmented. Creativity is squeezed out.
But we still expect every child to succeed in a system that hasn't moved in decades.

The Education Wake-Up Call isn’t here to warn you.
It’s here to name what’s already changed.

This book is
– Parents watching their kids disappear into screens
– Teachers protecting the spark
– Students slipping through the cracks
– Families who know their child isn’t broken — the system just doesn’t fit

You’ll finish it in under two hours.
But you won’t forget it.

“Thought-provoking.”
“Quick and powerful.”
“The book the world should be talking about.”

If you’ve ever felt it wasn’t working — this book proves you’re not alone.

About the author

Sarah Kissane is a writer, mother, and truth-teller creating work that challenges the stories we’ve inherited — and invites us to imagine something radically more human.

After writing The Special Two — a private tribute to her son — Obsolete: The Education Wake-Up Call became her first public release: a bold invitation to rethink the future we’re building in the age of AI.

She’s also the founder of Words With Heart Press and the author of The Truth Stack — a raw, unfiltered trilogy of survival guides for writers, thinkers, and creators navigating self-publishing and digital overwhelm.

Her writing is grounded, emotionally clear, and committed to protecting what must remain — even as the world rapidly changes around us.

Sarah Kissane has boldly gone where no one has... yet. This book was not only shaped by her own introspection and experience, but a close, compassionate, intelligent observation of what is unfolding before all of us... a rapidly changing world suffocating in an ill-fitting, outdated education system. Kissane creates an image of the disorientated child caught between technological advancement and human connection. As her passion and call to action unfolds on the pages, she doesn't tear down the education system she simply provides deep evidence-based commentary as to why it is no longer fit for purpose. She commends teacher’s and educators' dedication and enthusiasm, recognising the challenging, restrictive systems they too are caught up in. Kissane passes no blame. In fact, as a parent herself acknowledges, it takes a village to make this right.

Passionately written and thought provoking - this book will start conversations for the better.

I decided not to rate this as I feel to give it 5* would imply I am totally on board with all the thoughts and opinions expressed (Some I am, but some I am not), but to rate it any less would imply a lack of quality (which there certainly isn’t!).
