Good people of X, will you support a Japanese startup?

Learning by 3rd grade must actively transition to something like time back software. It's effective and solves a lot of other structural problems. Students must engage in seperate writing activities. How tough is it to think straight?

I used to cite this product as an example of positioning and placement. They would have raked more $$ if they had sold it to dermatologists. Whom do you see when you care enough to spend money to STOP your hair fall ? You don't need marketing to call it water softener.

Wow. I have experimented so much in my classrooms that I should really write about a list of ideas and where it actually doesn't/can't work.

as my 4-month-old son begins to notice people and things, he looks at my face in a way i’m not used to. my mind, which usually jumps between tasks, suddenly slows down. i start noticing his smile, the way his eyes search for meaning, and i find myself fully present with him in

What happens to a society when its smartest teenagers decide college isn’t worth the time and companies start agreeing with them? Palantir just tried something most people thought was unthinkable. It told high school students to skip college, walk past the gatekeepers, and start

Parents are exceptionally risk averse to doing anything outside the traditional model. I couldn't convince my own sister that 15 mins a day on IXL will give a higher ROI than the time spent in math class.

I travelled for 5 years from Hosur to Christ University (2010 - 2015) by bus. It used to take about 3 hours a day. I used to read economic times and books because the long ride was boring. Got addicted to reading. Eventually I skipped listening to lectures and started

I would like to fund a technical person who wants to build an alternative micro-school in Bangalore. The problem with non-technical educationists is that they either develop a fear of technology which is rooted in ignorance, or blind faith in tech that is unable to avoid its

Why do such tricks work perfectly in the plot and not in reality ?

strategy is as much about what you won't do as what you will. what counts as an evidence that a strategy exists, both in life & business ? The real test is repeated resource allocation towards your goals, especially under constraints.

One of my goals for this year was to be more “neighbourly”. Unless your building has an established culture of friendliness, or you’ve spent many years, it’s likely that the most common social interaction is to stand awkwardly in the lift together I hate that 😓

I hope someone can make use of this opportunity to manifest your 2026 with a bunch of lovely & interesting Twitter ladies that I was really hoping to meet! Alas, I will do my vision boarding with ChatGPT like a loser...

I get messages every week from parents of 3 & 4 year olds who are already worried. Should my child know letters yet? Are we behind in math? Do I need a curriculum—now? Not long ago, I felt exactly the same way. Early childhood feels high-stakes. We’re told these years matter

Is it safe to do this for 8 month old?

As an educator, I'd rather work with an unschooled kid who read broadly for 3-5 hours daily until age 15 but never "studied" any school content, over working with a diligent student from good schools who never read beyond assignments. The unschooled reader arrives with a richer
