I just wrote an open letter about a topic near and dear to my heart -- what school can be. I'm inviting families to share their stories. These stories need to be seen and heard. Let’s get this in front of more people. If you care about better education options, please share.

In education, this is a moment for the builders. If you're a teacher, build a school. If you're a parent, build a new future for your kid. If you're standing in the way, build the courage to join us — there's still room at the table.

We’re not in a school choice revolution yet; we’re in a school finance revolution that is the precursor to enable many other forms of innovation to occur. Great sentiment from Derrell Bradford at the Harvard School Choice conference.

It may be a rainy day, but notes like this from KaiPod Learning parents are all the sunshine we need in our lives. "...most importantly, thank you for the KaiPod experience!! It quite literally saved this kiddo from a life of academic isolation because public school wasn’t a good fit!

Teachers need more than just vacuous appreciation or empty promises from their supposed representatives. We need to totally reimagine school, so the job of a teacher is far more sustainable and rewarding. Case in point: we just wrapped the school year at one KaiPod Learning
