I did a thing! The first episode of Explore This! is here! Real conversations with National Geographic Explorers about their journeys, their fears, their turning points, and moments that shaped them. Not just what they doโฆ but who they are.

This is a systemic problem, not a moral one. You can't crush it by monitoring exams. You can only do it by changing the economy to not be so cutthroat that people become desperate to pass. But we refuse to discuss the economy, yet the students instinctively know that our economy is a lie.
The millenials are already saying as much on @theelephantinfo:
"Education was sold to us as the great equalizer. Work hard, follow the rules, get the papers, and the system would reward you. The future was bureaucratic, stable, predictable. And we were trained for it meticulously. So what happened?
We did everything by the book, only to discover the book had been quietly rewritten. Meanwhile, others thrived. Not because they were smarter. Not because they were more deserving. But because they were more adaptable. That rules are negotiable. That authority is inconsistent. That survival depends on improvisation, hustle, relationships, speed. That outcomes matter more than process."

In 2018, I cautioned that 1) so-called digital learning doesn't improve learning outcomes, 2) the fact that something is being done in Scandanavian education doesn't mean it's good or it will necessarily work for us. But to this day, I am told by even teachers that CBC is taught in Scandanavian countries.
So what do we do when the people we were blindly copying realize that they were wrong?
Anyway, #CBCisheretostay

Grateful to my literature lecturer @LarryNdivo who first introduced me to Meja Mwangiโs works. His stories opened my world, shaped my love for reading, and stayed with me ever since. Forever thankful.
May the fires of inspiration and curiosity #MejaMwangi lit in us all keep burning. It is fulfilling to read such a testament. His works have a sense of immediacy & personal touch because of speaking to our lived experiences. I may just go take another stroll down River Road

As a parent, I think this video has taught me something useful.
I recommend that you should try it on your kids, too.
I have also shared it with my wife.

@FQanini@HonKangata Pretty progressive, come see the regression that is Machakos County. Machozi tu. And some people still look down on education in the name of politicians!
