A milestone: just hired our first former Primer student. First of many!

The over-regulation of education is stupid and complicated and unintuitive and also it’s through the roof.

If your kid is struggling in school— Maybe it isn’t the kid that’s the problem. Maybe it’s the school.

Your kids deserve to love their school.

Parents of entrepreneurial teens: 1517 is *awesome* and this is an amazing opportunity. Danielle Strachman 💗 🐈 💃 🪴 🎸 🎨 🐕 and Michael P Gibson are good friends of mine. They’re the folks behind the Thiel Fellowship, and they were the earliest backers of the youngsters who went on to build Figma

The problem with most school writing is that it’s written exclusively for the teacher. The student cares only about the teacher’s opinion and approval. No one else will ever read it. The goal is just the A. Most kids never learn the art of writing selfishly as a tool for

"Learning facts is going to fade into the background." 🤦‍♂️ Quick thread on why this is a terrible take🧵⬇️

Our struggling school districts don't need more rigorous drill-and-kill testing and more test-related financial incentives. They need an entirely different model of self-paced, mastery-based instruction.

Pairing grade levels and the calendar year is totally arbitrary. Kids should not automatically advance at the end of June with only 60-70% grade level proficiency. Which is what currently happens. Whether you got 95% of the material or 65%, you move up. Which is a terrible

My first piece with The Daily Economy was published today, chronicling the rise of alternatives to public school in the first quarter of the 21st century. The movement is just beginning, but here's how we got here thus far:

This is, sadly, not an isolated story.

Everybody is (rightfully) talking about organ harvesting right now but can we please talk about this medical crime against humanity next.
