@review_iq_ because crayon tastes better than person

Can your 4-year-old draw a person? Your answer could mean the difference between a low and a high IQ. In the 1920s, Florence Goodenough developed a test called the Draw-a-Man Test. It measured a child’s ability to draw a person based on body parts, clothing, and proportions. The goal was to estimate mental age, based on the assumption that better drawing reflected greater cognitive maturity. Researchers found that children who drew recognizable figures around ages 4 to 6 scored higher on cognitive assessment tests than children who refused to draw or drew only scribbles. So, the next time your child brings home a family portrait, take a closer look at it. It might just reveal more than you think.

@MarthaMuri17811 @review_iq_ your dms arent even on, ig my math homework will be un done, not that i would want math help for someone that cant enable dms on twitter also known as x

@malicefv @review_iq_ Let me handle your homework , kindly dm

9 minutes of a fast-paced cartoon can wreck a preschooler's focus for an hour. Now think about the kid who watches 2+ hours before school even starts. We're sabotaging their brains and calling it "quiet time." Are you tracking how much screen time your kid actually gets?

ALL PATHS LEAD TO THE SAME DESTINATION THERE IS ONE SOLE TRUTH

@thejasonkantor @ClassicalEduc Not really because I actively resist that mindset. But I do see it forming in some peers that are solely motivated by rewards and not the value of the education itself.

@malicefv @ClassicalEduc Im asking this earnestly: You feel like Alpha is building that mindset in you?

The critiques I’ve personally seen/heard of Alpha school fall short: 1. Kids get too much screen time because of the use of AI -Most students already get a lot of screen time because of Chromebooks which yield worse results -I’m not saying high screen time is ideal but if it leads to exceptional results and is only 2 hours of the day, thats definitely better than what a lot of students do (for worse results) 2. Its not a real school -It looks different than a typical school but thats good - they are producing so much better results -Parents are happy, students are happy - thats what matters most as schools are made to serve them (supposedly...) 3. Its not a real school because students aren’t reading books -I’m sure the students read books but let’s assume for a moment they don’t read books…. -The students are out performing their book reading counterparts so what does that mean? -I’m not implying reading books are only necessary for test scores and I certainly hope their students do read books (its obviously important) -But as far as one of a school's main objectives - high test scores - Alpha is doing great 4. Its too expensive -People have and continue to pay more for less effective schools… It seems impossible for a school to have it *all* (whatever that means) but they seem pretty damn close And I say all of this as someone who doesn't work there, isn't sponsored to say this, and has no real reason to share this other than I am a teacher who supports a great school and am happy they are serving parents and students in a phenomenal way If people have a different experience, please share it - I just haven’t seen anything negative about them (which obviously means it could be out there and probably is, I just personally have not seen it)

@review_iq_ i regret ever being born

@malicefv Wow!!! This post is so cool!!!!!!!!! 😎

Should we have banned cars so carriage makers wouldn’t lose their jobs? That’s basically the “AI took our jobs” argument. Tech replaces services: cars replaced horses and computers replaced clerical work. Innovation can hurt people, but it’s still necessary.

@practiklyperfct @aliromman_

@malicefv @aliromman_ Regular person blessed/cursed with seeing souls dude. lol. I see you.

No way.

@practiklyperfct @aliromman_ who tf are you supposed to be lmao

@malicefv @aliromman_ @ malicefv Stop stalking kids. I’m sorry for whatever they did to you growing up. I’ll pray for your soul. Good luck.

@ncslumdawg @rebelEducator @AlphaSchoolATX Private schools tend to do better because their learning models are stronger—more coherent curriculum, tighter feedback loops, and more consistent expectations. It’s the model that works, not the fact that they are private.

@rebelEducator @AlphaSchoolATX Private schooling (or anything outside of public schooling) will ALWAYS rank way higher though.

Maybe the problem isn’t the laptops, maybe the problem is the standard education model that just got loaded onto the laptops See: @AlphaSchoolATX, where kids learn on laptops and are testing off the charts

@eduleadership Online courses are still viable. If a student doesn’t want to learn, pencil and paper won’t change that—they’ll just avoid the work in a different way. The real issue is motivation and accountability, not the format.

“Einstein” will complete 100% of your Canvas course. This raises serious questions about the continued viability of online courses. Time to bring back pencil and paper. Students may still get help from AI, but at least they can write everything out themselves.

@Homeschool_LLC If you only get one, I’d pick calculus. The world almost never moves in straight lines—things curve, change pace, and compound. Calculus helps you make sense of that. Trig is handy, but it feels more like a supporting tool you can learn when you need it.

I posed this question to my wife and co-author who is also an engineer: “Beyond algebra and geometry, which math provides a better foundation for general knowledge - calculus or trigonometry if you only have the opportunity to take one of those?” What do you think?

@ClassicalEduc @thejasonkantor I’m with you. External rewards definitely boost short-term performance, but they also condition kids to expect compensation for responsibility. School should reinforce internal drive, pride in mastery, and self-discipline—not “What do I get for this?”

@thejasonkantor I just can't past the motivation factor. My homeschooled kids read and learn because they want to, not because of gamified external rewards. I want to like it, but that's a deal breaker for me.

@SandieRhoa69566 @thejasonkantor Not sure what you heard but as an Alpha student I have multiple classmates with dyslexia and they happen to be top performers at the school.

@thejasonkantor I went to a parent night to learn more and they made the statement that it’s likely a student with dyslexia would struggle in this setting. That disappointed me and also made me mad. No access for students w disabilities? Helps w scores for sure…
