The education system is broken. Costs are rising. Outcomes are falling. Kids are bored, parents are frustrated, teachers are over-worked and under-appreciated. The Wall Street Journal just profiled the most promising solution I've seen. Their results are so good that you're

I think the one thing I'd want *good* teachers to know is that: You can deliver the best explanations, checks for understanding, feedback and independent practice in the world. BUT If you don't have a plan for long term memory, retrieval and repetitions...it's all for nought.

The world bends faster than you think. Get crystal clear on what you want. Move like it’s already yours. No hesitation. No backup plan. Just full pressure. Suddenly, things shift. People show up. Doors open. It looks like luck. It’s not.

Last year, I started a business to help women secure the bag and build thriving careers. Now? We have an office, a community of over 100k women across platforms, and we’re hiring women—plus providing MacBooks for productivity. And I’m only 24. Grateful🙏

If you are above thirty, this isn't the first time Africa's future has been "written off completely" - in your lifetimes. Africa's future was written off completely, by the West in the 1990s. In fact, that was the subject of Kaplan's "Coming Anarchy" essay.

Now, back to my original point. Africa's future depends on your agency - and as a young person in Nigeria; you are either going to do most of the heavy lifting - or you endure mediocrity for the rest of your life.

African countries with any hopes of development and sovereignty need to pick a side. "Nonalignment" has always been a comfortable lie told by countries too afraid to own their real geopolitical situations. You have enemies. Real enemies. There's no point pussyfooting around it.

The purpose of education is to inspire the desire for learning in students and make them able to think, understand, and question. Not grades.
