Fantastic thread! Take two minutes to give it a read!

Just sat down with David Epstein (NYT bestselling science writer) to gut-check the "wise" beliefs quietly wrecking careers.

The 7 that hit hardest:

This work is SO impressive! @Ensworth arts program blends academic study of art with production of beautiful products. Well done!

[Ensworth School @Ensworth]

Over the weekend, we celebrated the creativity and hard work of our AP Studio Art seniors, Lela George and Mia McDermott, at this year’s exhibition opening at Frist Campus. From thoughtful artist presentations to stunning collections on display, it was an inspiring afternoon 🎨✨

At @EnsworthTigers celebrates multi-sport student-athletes! In an age of specialization, we believe playing different sports keeps bodies healthier: avoiding overtraining & promoting cross training while staying dialed in academically& surrounding kids with exceptional educators

[Ensworth Football @EnsworthFB]

Congrats to our football players who played a role in the Ensworth Boys Lacrosse State Championship season. 🏆

Proud of these Tigers for competing and winning at the highest level across multiple sports.

Great article on @ensworthtigers lacrosse! What a day for boys and girls programs with two state titles!

It’s a GREAT day to be an @ensworth Tiger! Boys AND Girls lacrosse teams bring home state titles! 🐅🐅🐅. @ensworthtigers

@Kreager @Ensworth @EnsworthTigers I drove with all appropriate speed between the two campuses at halftime 😇.

Fascinating thread on AI from @DanielPink . I love the imperative to pause and have human reflection around decision making. That human judgment is a critical component to decisions. It’s why @Ensworth we continue to stress in-person, face-to-face learning in diverse community

[Daniel Pink @DanielPink]

Every AI pitch promises the same thing:

Do more in less time. Finally get to the important stuff. Work less.

New research from Berkeley followed real workers for 8 months.

That's not what happened. 👇

Love seeing our @Ensworth academic programs shining on big stages! Well done!!

Well done, Tigers! Can’t wait for next week as @EnsworthTigers girls lacrosse battles for a state title. Let’s goo!

[The BigBoard @BigBoardSports]

Dominant semi-final win for the Tigers. On to the ‘ship!

[Prentice Stabler @StablerPrentice]

Fascinating clip from @BreneBrown . I’m thankful that at @Ensworth we’re committed to both deep reading/history/philosophy AND core skills in applied science…all while building habits of character, leadership, and emotional intelligence.

[Camus @newstart_2024]

Steve Jobs famously said his kids didn’t use iPads.

Brené Brown highlighted this on Steven Bartlett’s Diary of a CEO. She’s been in rooms with tech billionaires and platform founders. When they’re asked what kids should study today, the answer is coding and physics. But when the same people reflect on their own success? They credit deep reading of philosophy, the Stoics, history, and the liberal arts.

Her concern: a quiet divide is forming — one group protecting deep thinking for their own children while the rest of us are encouraged to just keep scrolling.

In the age of AI, experts across the board are saying critical thinking, philosophical reasoning, and liberal arts skills are becoming even more essential — not less. AI can generate answers, but it can’t replace the human ability to ask the right questions, understand context, ethics, and meaning.

The people building our digital future seem to understand this deeply for their own families, yet design systems that often pull everyone else in the opposite direction.

Do you think we’re creating a two-tier system — deep thinkers at the top and scrollers below?

Go Tigers! Black and orange lacrosse off to a good start this week. Let’s keep it up @EnsworthTigers

Congrats to HVAC Champions! MS girls golfers keeping up their winning ways! @EnsworthTigers

[Prentice Stabler @StablerPrentice]

I stumbled on this:
People Are Talking 28% Less Than They Used To. Here's Why - TIME

BUT, this isn’t true at @ensworth where our responsive classroom framework in K-8 and Harkness tables at the high school keep our students active, engaged, and connected. https://t.co/efG1klBtFI
