I have been thinking a lot lately about the way AI is changing everything. We still teach students *how* (rather than what) to think @_WilsonHill Academy, but this article on the way AI has broken hiring is indicative of the problem: https://t.co/kMFz6jT8DJ
@anwtutor@ddmeyer Yes. We kicked off an AI task force this week to look into how to teach students to leverage AI to help them think better (not avoid thinking). Would love to be part of this conversation [@BobD_Austin]
This is a false dichotomy. At @_WilsonHill Academy (among others) we teach AP science courses without omitting the “why” component. Moreover, an attempt to separate the ideal/theoretical from the applied/incarnational seems like a step away from biblical wisdom.
Check us out at https://t.co/YiNh25oXCU too. Providing a classical Christian education that teaches students how to think. Live classes online on purpose since 2014. Helping homeschool parents prepare their children for life.
The image on the left is Budapest last night, on the Feast of St. Stephen. The image on the right is NYC 1956, on Easter. My friend James Card observes:
"What was unthinkable in Hungary in 1956 is happening in 2023, and what happened in New York in 1956 is unthinkable in 2023." @PM_ViktorOrban@BalazsOrban_HU
So true. Join us at Wilson Hill Academy (online on purpose for ten years) to join in “the Great Conversation” — learning HOW to think, not WHAT to think.
One of the awful side effects of instant gratification culture is that one's ability to understand anything before yesterday is greatly diminished. This is why so many people are prone to blind ideological loyalty (cult-like behavior) and not informed thoughts and opinions.
Why the rapid rise in alternative forms of schooling?
For every traditional homeschooler who always saw themselves as such, there are two more that are doing it reluctantly. They are leaving behind a conventional / coercive school that didn't work for their family and looking for a better option.
It's no surprise that an entire spectrum of options is emerging. It's time.
@larissaphillip Thanks for sharing that, Larissa. As you quickly figured out, homeschooling is hard. We founded @_WilsonHill Academy to help. Challenging Classical Christian curriculum; 100% live classes with master teachers; opportunities for live & virtual community building; fully accredited.
School choice is on the march! Across the country, state policymakers are advancing legislation to empower families with the freedom to choose the learning environments that align with their values and best meet their kids' individual learning needs. Here's a roundup 🧵 1/8
The scope and timeline of the project is alone worth considering; we should start more building projects that last longer than a lifetime. I guess that is why I am involved in classical Christian education. For a thousand generations.
While we don’t know what God has planned for each of our children, we can help equip them for lifelong learning and build our relationship with them at the same time—it’s simpler than you might think.
