one of the most unique and surprising requests for quazar read we have had is from a pediatrician who wants to make her clinic a more welcoming place for children
@xanderlluca I left my job to start teaching accelerated science and math at a school to select kids. Started building to enable them to understand and apply concepts better. The initiative was popular with students and parents, and basically everyone wanted in.
I believe reading is one of the most important skills a child can build. So at the start of this month we launched Read, a monthly science & maths read for kids.
In under a month: 1,000+ users and 4 school integrations. Here's what we've been up to https://t.co/mQ1v9GWUvS.
Every expert was once embarrassed by a beginner question. Theres a famous theory that says if people knew hard a goal they have really is, they would never get started, the good thing with hard work is that its almost always beneficial, even when you don't get what you want.
@tetheredtoed1 It's alright to trust your schools capability of teaching your kid, it's stupid to not have a separate safeguard for times when the school you trust might not do its job. Take your kids education seriously instead of treating school as just a daycare
@justinskycak@shreyas Most of the time people should trust the process of working hard. Never could go wrong with making sure you are practicing your best.
@justinskycak if you want a good job which you prefer you have to start early preparing for it. The worlds changed so much with wages not increasing but the competition growing at an astonishing rate.
@dhaniyaluu We don't say these things for swimming classes or Instrument classes even though a huge amount of kids don't enjoy them. As long as it's done in regulation without much pressure almost all extra curricular activities forced or not are beneficial in some way.
@justinskycak The reality is that everyone needs time according to their capabilities. Parents try to force their kids to jam up information when they haven't actually understood the basics. They love schools which just let their kids pass instead of letting them take their time.
@FixingEducation Writings not just about noting, its about remembering and correcting. Whenever we write , we try to purify the statement more, thats why we make more mistakes while typing rather than writing something, its also why we take more time to think while writing.
@flowidealism Students asking questions seems like a confirmation that students are paying attention. Theres rarely any topic that would not raise questions, Nowadays teaching in classrooms is nothing more than a youtube video. Blazing through the topics to cover the entire curriculum.
@teachthemx3 If only schools cared about students and teachers enough. They care enough to let them pass but not enough to pay teachers better and to actually make students capable of passing an already degrading academic filter.
@CoachDanGo I believe the early stages of learning should be helping kids explore their interests or to guide them and encourage curiosity. Then we can focus on the tough part
@sathyashrii This seems possible if you consider a lot of the syllabus can be cut off easily and a lot of it can be compressed. Indian schools have a reputation of spreading out learning content across grades.
