The greatest travesty of human potential is locking up 14 - 22 YO during their peak cognitive years in a classroom. Making them learn through the slowest possible route(lecture) when they should be building, learning from actual work and developing agency.

Hosur is in TN. But they can't pronounce this or almost all places in the area without errors. For example there is a place called Gudishetlu. They literally have written it as KUDIsettulu. The level of linguistic torture the natives have to go through listening the Tamil immigrants is unbearable.

A question to our cute Dravidoids. Why do you pronounce Kamban as Kamban and Kampavarman as Kampavarman, and not Kambavarman? What phonetic rule in Tamil tells you that?

@CivitasSameer @abhijeet_dipke I saw you actually take down the LPI. I think what is missing in your style is the playbook Mamdani, Kejriwal and CPI are using. Look at their models and it is straight out of the book 'the blueprint for revolution '. Masses have no history of listening to reason.

Today, if you are building a "better" school, you are missing the opportunity to re-imagine education entirely. The opportunity today is to completely re-imagine education from the ground up. It will take time but the window is now with what AI enables for education ... some of the best teams around the world will figure this out. Alpha School is a good example but probably only tip of the iceberg and the modern school of tomorrow will look nothing like the school or schooling today. I am surprised that there is still not enough conversation and brainstorming around this, especially in India which can benefit disproportionately. I don't know what it is right now but I am sure some stellar founders will figure this out sooner than later, as long as we reiterate that a "better" school is not the right answer :)

I remain convinced that teaching children to read - and then having them read interesting, thought-provoking, excellent books - is one of the greatest “social-emotional” learning techniques we have in our tool kit. The right books teach an incredible amount about character, virtue, discipline, overcoming challenges …. and do it in a way that is not overly didactic or off putting to the child. Even DogMan is a far preferable way to quiet a child for a half hour than watching TV or giving them a tablet. (I actually really like the DogMan series for young readers, but that’s its own post).
Erika Sanzi@esanzi

She says that teaching kids to read IS a social emotional program. AMEN to that.

Children learn words through real life, not flashcards. I created a simple guide: → what to say → when to say it → with real-life examples Built from everyday moments at home. docs.google.com/document/d/1Tv…

Reading is a meta skill. If you could make your kid love reading and for long hours. You've mostly succeeded in giving them a fine education.
The Husky@Mr_Husky1

If your child becomes a reader, roughly 80% of the educational task is already done. That's my honest assessment after working in education for over thirty years. Everything else is secondary. Most parents believe that science education is important. Yes, it is. But if you can't read your biology textbook, you're not going to learn biology. Reading is the meta-skill that enables all other skills. History requires reading. Science requires reading. Even math increasingly requires reading as it becomes more sophisticated. The child who reads voraciously will grasp everything else. The child who doesn't will struggle with everything.

Automation of cognitive work does not make cognitive skills redundant. For example, Calculators and computers did not make arithmetic skills irrelevant. What it does is: move those skills from "sufficient for employability" to "necessary but not sufficient". Like basic literacy, the baseline expectation moves up. I think we should aim for, not T-shaped, not even 𝚷-shaped, but instead ▦-shaped skills. For example, the current narrow disciplines of engineering education are no longer appropriate. We need a new kind of B.E./B.Tech: x.com/nileshtrivedi/… And yes, certain character traits have become much more important now. One of them is High agency, which means: - Ability to iterate without permission - Treat life as one giant experiment - Ability to distinguish difficult goals from impossible goals And taste and/or judgment. Besides direct experience, young people can develop taste via broad and deep reading of modern projects, for second-hand experience. But without deep understanding of math/cs/physics, humanity is likely to lose control. We need it more broadly than ever. I recently gave a talk about "Learning in the age of AI" which touched on some of these issues. nilesh.trivedi.link/thoughts
Paras Chopra@paraschopra

What advice should one give to kids to prepare for the future? I used to think mastering basics of physics, math, cs is the way to go but now I’ve updated my belief as these fields will get automated soon. What we need kids to learn is personality traits like grit, resourcefulness, optimism, resilience, etc.

Harvard University, to their eternal glory, has provided online recordings of hundreds of authors who have graced their stages over the past century. We are talking Siegfried Sassoon (!), Dylan Thomas, W.H. Auden, E.M. Forster, and more. Dive in! hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/sear…

@nwilliams030 Bloom's 2s problem claims were exaggerated- here's a really useful article that doesn't just critique but goes into the specifics on how the effect was achieved and how to achieve them in a way that seems relevant for homeschooling: educationnext.org/two-sigma-tuto…

Sherry Turkle found two types of kid programmers: "planners" who design first, and "bricoleurs" who tinker their way to understanding Most curricula reward planning. Most kids are natural bricoleurs My 3yo doesn't outline games before building them. He grabs an idea, starts making, figures it out through doing The research says that's not a deficit — it's how deep learning actually works New on Raising Pixels: why letting kids build first and plan later is backed by decades of research from Papert and Turkle

Hey Bangalore, I’d really appreciate your help. My wife’s starting her first business doing the thing she loves most - teaching! She’s the only person I know whose students from years ago still call her for life and career advice. She’ll be teaching commerce and accounting for 11th and 12th, in-person at Basavangudi. If you know any students or students communities (or live in a place with tons of students), I’d really appreciate you reaching out. I’m really excited to see her succeed. Thanks you ❤️
