Check out the apps used at Alpha School!
Our cursive handwriting app is rolling out to Alpha Schools right now.
Would you be interested in trying it out?

Two questions I get all the time: "What educational AI tools would you recommend for my kid?" "What adaptive apps does Alpha use?" Many of the apps we've built ourselves aren't publicly accessible yet. Here are ten third-party ones I do recommend.

@mathladyhazel More importantly, at 16, most pupils can solve a quadratic equation. At 32, few can. Compulsory maths lessons are therefore a vast economic inefficiency and a vast moral calamity. There is no justification for wasting people's lives like this.

@flowidealism @bobbygulshan How can we engage with you given that we live in Thailand? Been following your work for a while

I’ve got a virtual school for entrepreneurial, creative, and intellectual students where they engage in real world projects with the support of mentors. I’ve had students write books, engage in digital marketing, coding, creating AI agents for business clients, building video games, etc. Digital work is about skills and doesn’t require transportation, so it is typically easier. I’ve also had kids do substantial work IRL, but there it is more often adjacent to parent connections. Though I’m also a fan of good old fashioned entry level retail and hospitality jobs, both of which I did a lot of as a teen.

"Teenagers" didn't exist until the twentieth century. Before that, young people joined adult life by twelve or thirteen. They worked the farm or apprenticed in a trade. They weren't coddled or warehoused.
You rarely see adolescent rebellion in a traditional village because there are no adolescents. There are children and adults. Children become adults by doing adult work.
What we call "teenage rebellion" is often a reaction to being told to sit still through years of meaningless, compulsory schooling. Lock proud young men in a room and ask them to copy vocabulary words, and they're going to rebel. Then we call their rebellion a "problem," diagnose them, and funnel them into the school-to-prison pipeline.
We create the behavior we claim to fear, then punish kids for it.

Calling all Boston families: A parent-led group is now assembling the 25 'founding families' needed to bring Alpha School to Boston.
This is how it starts.
(And as a lifelong Red Sox fan, I'm personally very excited to see it.)

UPDATE 3: I had to collect a vial of his spit. It was not easy. We just hit “peak” and completed a few measurements: + Brain scan via @KernelCo + Blood pressure + Adrenal stress profile via saliva Lots of laughter…. hard to stay on task. Keeps talking about the universe and how we’re all one. He wants to go back to his bed and “return to the playground”

@realEstateTrent Didnt the great charlie munger have an opinion on this strategy as well?
English

People think I’m nuts because:
We don’t 1031.
We don’t do use cost segregation.
We buy cash, finance post-close.
We don’t finance over 55% LTV.
We only buy one product type.
We don’t care what market.
We look for inefficiencies, address them, bank the profit, pay long term cap gains, and use the cash to pounce on the next great deal.
Result:
31 successful exits in a row between the first purchase in 2006 and our most recent sale a couple weeks ago.

@ReeceHarding @OwenOKeefe7 Aside from MA, how would one across the world even try to emulate Alpha and its Ed stack? Can’t find anything else suitable yet aside from MA.
English

met my first Alpha fan in the wild today
@OwenOKeefe7 cold approached me at a gauntlet meetup and said “you work for 2 hour learning right?”
i was taken aback
“uhh yeah that’s right”
turns out he’s a super fan
we nerded out for over 30 mins about learning science and the alpha ecosystem
he’s read everything @mackenzieprice has written, including the whitepaper
wants to license the timeback software to open his own school as soon as it’s available
super inspiring to hear stories of parents who know their kids can do better but are being held back because they don’t have access to timeback
made me feel guilty for not working harder
excited to get back to work tomorrow
conclusion?
i need to talk to talk to customers more lol
p.s.
feel like it’d be cool if we had a monthly talk from a parent who’s kid wants to use timeback
am i crazy?
what do you think @turing_hamster @Thisistheaj @arpangup @Yng_Pepe
English

@justinskycak Does MA always ‘space’ it by the days outlined in the above graph irrespective of number of units done in any particular day?
English

@turing_hamster Yes, please. My wife is a literacy coach here in Thailand so it would be great to try it and give feedback as well if required
English

@justinskycak @_MathAcademy_ @exojason Can you create a ‘working draft’ of other platforms that are similar to your approach? Eg the MA of coding / science / writing
English

The first ever @_MathAcademy_ Q&A will be recorded this weekend. Me and @exojason.
What questions do you want us to answer?
(If we get a bunch of good Q's then we might do it again.)
English

@beingMana @EricJorgenson So glad that The Math Academy Way is resonating with you! Hope the system works out for your son!

"You Are NOT Lazy, You Just Lack a Habit" is the first of 106 passages in Advice on Upskilling.
Here's the latest table of contents:

Along the same lines: You are NOT lazy, you just lack a habit.

@justinskycak @EricJorgenson Just printed the math academy book. And my son started on the platform. You’ve taken us into a rabbit hole and we’re loving it.
English

@EricJorgenson Wow, really appreciate it! Much respect for your work. I'm currently working through a list of remaining passages to add and areas to clean up and will reach out once it's stable!

Most ecommerce teams run retention in reactive mode.
Customers churn.
Revenue dips.
Then the team scrambles to send a winback or a promo.
And sure, sometimes that works.
But it’s inefficient, unpredictable, and way too manual.
What if you could predict who’s going to churn before they do?
Or know who’s ready for their second order before they ghost you?
That’s what @NathanSnell at @RaleonHQ is solving.
It’s not just automating what you already do.
It’s helping you operate ahead of the curve with AI-driven retention infrastructure.
Here’s what it gives you:
✅ Behavior-based segments that update automatically
✅ Purchase and churn predictions that guide your campaign planning
✅ Send strategies built on real performance data, not guesswork
The result? More emails sent, better timing, and stronger LTV without adding headcount.
If you’re still reacting to customer behavior, it’s time to level up.
Raleon helps you shift from reactive to predictive, and it makes all the difference.

P.S. I’m a paid advocate for Raleon, but only because I’ve seen firsthand how powerful Raleon is for ecommerce teams.
