The Wrong Person Keeps Getting Homework: When Skills Cannot Fix Systems
Media literacy, digital competence and emotional intelligence are all valuable skills. They help people understand information, navigate technology, communicate more effectively and respond to difficult situations. But individual skills have limits. A citizen can...
Emotional Intelligence for Kids: Are We Teaching Skills or Obedience?
Helping children understand emotions is important. But what happens when they use those skills to question the adults around them? Imagine telling an angry eight-year-old to stop shouting and use their words. "I already did. I told you she keeps taking my things. You...

This Week at REDefine: The Wrong Person Keeps Getting Homework
This week, three very different subjects kept leading us back to the same question: why do we so often respond to structural problems by giving the individual another skill to practise?
We teach citizens media literacy while platforms shape what they see. We teach employees digital competence while organisations struggle to understand the systems they depend on. We teach children emotional regulation while sometimes leaving the environment that upset them untouched.
The skills matter. But they can’t carry the whole burden.
That became the thread of this week’s recap: The Wrong Person Keeps Getting Homework.
We also started something new: two 🌟 Writer Spotlights, featuring Tim Dasey on what schooling misses about judgement, and Kriti Agarwal / 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗔 𝗚𝗶𝗿𝗹 on why AI can make building easier without making understanding less important.
And next week, we follow the same question into two very different places: the hidden economics behind a €5 online bargain, and the emotional forces shaping political judgement.
