IMG has nicer facilities than us.
That's the only thing they beat us at.
They spend their money on buildings. We spend ours on the things that actually develop a kid: the athletes, the coaches, the academics.
In our schools, kids do 2 hours of personalized, mastery-based learning, learn 2x faster than a traditional school, and then spend the rest of the day on elite skill development.
Our basketball team, Dynamic Prep led by Jermaine O'Neal, is #1 in Texas, won the Overtime Elite Championship, and is ranked above IMG.
Our baseball team, The Bennett School, won the NAA national title and is #1 in the nation.
Turns out you don't need a resort. All you need is great teammates, great coaches, great academics, and a place to play.
There is an autism lottery. Either you're autistic about something totally monetarily useless like sonic speedrunning, or you are autistic about something that makes a fuck ton of money like GPU schedulers
Asmongold gives a lecture on NEET culture as a 2nd generation NEET and their impact on internet/society
"There are plenty of well known intellectuals of the past that have followed down the same path that I have..I don't really view myself as a philosopher, I view myself as a Western Monk"
"What do monks do all day? They sit around..not around any women, they read, I read Twitter all day..meditate, I lay in bed and do nothing..I feel like I'm leading a new generation..NEETs are the new Monk class of our society and they need to be respected"
"If u look at the contributions we've made to the world, you would see nothing..but if u look at the contributions we've made to the internet..we basically established the culture"
"We've taken over the White House..we're literally running it..and I view myself as a Patron saint of the NEETs..I grew up, never wanted to have a job..my mom never had a job, I am a 2nd generation NEET"
Montessorium MAP growth for the year: 2x the norm in math, 2.8x reading, 3.7x language.
Our students who started behind are now on track or ahead. Our students who started ahead are more ahead.
My 6yo 20x’d reading (she was so ahead that MAP expected ~no growth) and 6x’d math.

We do not use a chatbot interface in our schools for academics, and here’s the reason: give a kid a chatbot, and they will cheat with it.
As much as we’d love to imagine they’re going to get on ChatGPT and engage in a Socratic discussion, they don’t. They copy the question and paste, “What’s the answer?”
