Michael Vilardo, @TrySubject CEO, paid $70K/year for a Zoom MBA during COVID.

He says he learned more from binge-watching The Last Dance.

Here's why:

@HippyMomPhD We've watched this with families for years. The kids who had real responsibility at home are the ones who don't freeze when something is actually hard at 12.

[OpenEd @OpenEdHQ]

@flowidealism The kids who score well on the wrong metrics are the hardest to redirect. Their parents think the system is working.

[OpenEd @OpenEdHQ]

@stuartbuck1 Decades of think pieces couldn't do what one couples argument at a basketball game just did.

[OpenEd @OpenEdHQ]

@rebelEducator Every family we've talked to who pulled their kids out says the same thing. More time outside. Less sitting. The kid came back.

[OpenEd @OpenEdHQ]

@justinskycak Families do this with school. "We'll figure it out next year" until next year is graduation.

[OpenEd @OpenEdHQ]

@justinskycak And yet the feedback loops for most schools are 1 year.

[OpenEd @OpenEdHQ]

@flowidealism Schools have an answer to that question too. "Because it's on the test." The kids learn to stop asking.

131 podcast episodes. 11 states. 1,400 families.

We didn't set out to build a movement. Parents did.

Most math tools teach to the test.

Families kept nominating @_MathAcademy_ because it teaches to the kid.

2026 Eddy Award Winner - Resource of the Year.

@justinskycak @exojason shared, "This recognition reinforces our commitment to helping every student achieve their fullest mathematical potential."

[OpenEd @OpenEdHQ]

Nearly 100 campuses. Zero traditional classrooms.

@MattBeaudreau founded Apogee Strong and helped families across the country launch schools that look nothing like school.

This year, he’s joining our 2026 Eddy Awards judging panel. https://t.co/ayZCTxm3MF

Things that look like laziness but are actually cognitive overload:

- "I don't get it" (gap too wide)
- Staring at the page (working memory limit)
- "I can't do it" (too many new concepts)

@_MathAcademy_ @justinskycak says smaller doses are the key

Behind every parent who figured out open education, there was a podcast episode, a blog post, a YouTube video that turned curriculum overwhelm into a plan.
