Ok I’ll be serious for a second.
I joined a gym at the beginning of April. I haven’t lifted since prison and I’ve never been in a gym in my entire life otherwise.
I’ve been hitting it really hard. I’m extremely proud of myself.
But that’s not what this post is about.
I wanted to post here and pass on a little tidbit from my personal gym experience: This is the greatest anti depressant on planet earth.
Had I have known what a mental benefit this would be for me, I would’ve done this A LOT sooner.
If you have been procrastinating about joining a gym or if you are just at a mental low and don’t know what to do about it, join a gym.
It’s cheap and (strangely) addicting.
Put some ear buds in your ears, throw on some Pantera, and sling some shit around for an hour or so.
This has been more effective than any drug, any alcohol, or any therapy.
I’m Amiri King, I’m 44 years old, and this is a real bowflex body.
It's crazy how many people want to see LeBron James fail.
Even when 8th graders fail a math test, it's seen as a failure for LeBron. Like he's LeTeacher or something.
"0% of 8th graders in LeBron's 'I Promise' School have passed the state's math exam since 2018."
The most important thing when a new headline comes out isn't the information that's mentioned, but the information that is deliberately left out.
Let's be clear: ZERO students passing is a bad thing. But there's more to this story mainstream media doesn't want you to hear:
🔸To qualify for the 'I Promise' School you must come from the bottom 25% of the state's reading exam.
🔸28% of students at the school have a disability.
🔸Most admitted students are not proficient in math at their grade level. They are years behind coming in.
🔸42% of these students progressed a full year in math, but they're not proficient at their grade level yet.
🔸The entire country is seeing reading and math test scores plummet since the pandemic.
🔸Overall, reading and math scores throughout America have been significantly declining since 2012.
Anyone can find this information, but most won't bother considering the only reason they're talking about 8th-grade math in the first place is because it's linked to a celebrity.
LeBron's mission is not just to make 13-year-olds pass an exam. The bigger purpose of his school is to attack a generational education issue in America. An issue where at-risk kids don't get the classrooms, teachers, and opportunities LeBron is providing at his school.
But the internet just doesn't seem to care…🤷🏽♂️
