Discovering Music Together! Watch as Ksenia and her daughter Ariadne explore the world of music through fun and educational instrument flash cards. Here's why this family bonding time is more than just play: Educational Fun: Learning about different instruments not only boosts memory but also enhances cognitive skills. It's a playful way to introduce children to new sounds and cultures. Musical Bonding: Playing and learning music together strengthens family ties. It’s an activity that fosters patience, teamwork, and shared joy, creating lasting memories. Creativity and Expression: Music education opens up avenues for creativity. Ksenia and Ariadne are not just learning names; they're exploring how each instrument tells a different story through sound. Life Skills: Engaging with music teaches discipline, concentration, and the importance of practice – lessons that translate well beyond the world of music into everyday life. A Legacy of Music: By sharing this experience, Ksenia is passing down a love for music, potentially sparking a lifelong passion in Ariadne. Let's inspire each other to make music a part of our family moments! Whether it's through flash cards, singing, or actual instruments, every note played together is a step towards a melodious family life. #homeschool #musiceducation

@mackenzieprice This is why the proper use of new tools is what brings true revolution that changes our lives for the better.

There are two directions kids can go with AI. They can use it to get out of doing the thinking, or they can use it to build something they couldn't build before. I'm not sure most kids know the second option exists. Feels like something worth changing.

@washingtonpost Love to see this!

The number of men who read for pleasure has been plummeting for years. But this Maryland group, mostly in their 70s, is defying the odds. “It’s worth taking the time to read books,” Dan Mozena said. Even if it’s in a friend’s living room. wapo.st/48wUluz

@TerriGreenUSA This is so spot on and sad of course!

This video demonstrates the absurdity of contemporary Christian music today, that is the same tune, different words, and its meaningless messages like Bethel and Hillsong. It’s all about feelings.

@goodreads @John_Attridge This is just silly, I’m supposed to read books I have before buying new ones? Nonsense!

some people (non-readers) just don't get it 🤷 ✍️: @John_Attridge

@Miss_Snuffy The education system is in desperate need of a revolution.

You hear this and students will rightly conclude that they would be better off using AI for their university essays. End of education! 😳

The idea that one reads simply to “understand the summary” misses the point and it’s depressing to see people in the industry pushing this idea You read for the prose. The love of the language. To savor the unfolding story. The point of reading isn’t to get through books quickly

@KeriA1776again Couldn’t agree more and it’s great to see so many people feeling the same thing. Modern education is failing children.

It’s long overdue for an education revolution.

@LFrostWrites Congrats!

Another sold out bookstore event!!

@tishray Instead, we are giving tools to children that will ultimately replace their need for critical thinking, creating, or learning altogether.

There is something fundamentally wrong with how we educate the young now. Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein at 18. Tolstoy published his first novel at 24. Napoleon was a general at 24. Pascal invented a calculator at 19. Mozart composed symphonies at 8. The common factor? All classically educated and trained. They were immersed in Greek and Latin, philosophy, mathematics, music, and history before adulthood.

This is the result of humans always thinking there’s a saving technology that will revolutionize everything and roll it out without testing, moderation, or caution. Unleashing AI into schools without the proper testing as to the effect on students is reckless at the very least and shows that the desire to be “innovative” surpasses the desire to do the right thing. They thought every child having a Chromebook was a solution but never thought to test it. Technology has its place and can serve as a great tool, just not a solution to everything as was hoped.

@DocBrownLloyd Can't wait to read this!!

I told you when this baby hits 88…you’re gonna see some serious shit. A lifetime of stories. Coming soon.

@candacecbure You should go see Solo Mio with Kevin James, it's such a great and romantic movie!

Me and my forever movie date 🤩 Share your favorite movies + recs below ✨

@danicamckellar Best anniversary to celebrate!

Did you know that April is my 4 year anniversary of becoming a Christian? 💕✝️ I didn't want the month to go by without commemorating and sharing 4 of the many things I have learned in 4 years of being a Christian - how my life has felt so much calmer and more blessed. Talking to God regularly, having this relationship in my life, has made all the difference, and I wish this kind of peace happiness for everyone reading this message. May you have blessed day and feel God's love in your heart! 🙏

@SethDillon How is the NYT still in business?

Stop whatever you're doing — especially if you're reading The New York Times — and play with your kids.

Do they even have a senior editor at the NYT that even reads the articles before they publish them anymore? This has to be satire.

@hey_mindi 👏👏👏

I talked to a woman today who runs a local program that supports elementary schools in our area. She had posted on Facebook they were looking for children’s book donations. I reached out, shared that I am a used book seller and found out they gift 10,000 books a year to local kids. Their source? They buy on eBay. She asked for a link to my eBay storefront. Instead, I offered to donate books to supply their entire program for the year. And I can confidently tell you… This is my greatest accomplishment in my business to date.

@Riley_Gaines_ You are so right, they purposely make it confusing so we'll just pay whatever.

It's been 7 months since we had our baby and we're still receiving unexplained hospital bills in the mail. Hardly ever an adequate description of services. Just a QR code to pay online. It feels intentionally confusing and difficult to get answers. We want price transparency.

@fathersreforged They can't hold onto the public school model anymore, so they just complain that they need more money.

At this point, how can anyone hold onto the public school model? Education is in for a radical change these next 5 years.

Who would have thought that by limiting screen time, it would benefit students? 🤨 Hope we continue to see more of this in more school districts.
