As an @Alphaschool student for the past 7 years, I’d love to clear up some misconceptions:

“Alpha kids spend hours on screens every day.”

Alpha School: ~2 hours a day learning on screens.
Average public school: ~98 minutes a day on screens.

The numbers are close, so screen time isn’t really a fair criticism of Alpha specifically.

“Replacing teachers with AI is what no parent wants.”

Alpha doesn’t use AI chatbots to teach. In fact, they are banned during academic time!!!

The lessons are designed by learning scientists, and AI mostly works in the background.

Teachers become guides, which gives them more time to build relationships with students and coach each one individually.

Arguably, Alpha is more human than other schools.

🚨BREAKING: Austin's number one repeat offender, BATMAN BRUCE, with more than 120 arrests (many violent) has been SHOT AND KILLED behind @GameRepublik

I don't wish death upon anyone. But for the record, I beat this guy's ass 5 times in 2021 in lawful self-defense.

Bruce would be alive today if the DA would have simply stopped letting him out of jail.

@cost_of_bums @GameRepublik I wish I could but it's too late now 😔

@ph0rque There's a different mode?

Always love it when Cursor suggests these hallucinated API keys. Like yeah, let's try out this random combination. Maybe we'll hit the jackpot

Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to pass the torch and demote myself to my natural state: a poster. I'll be stepping back from leading product for 𝕏 and will continue on as an advisor.

Serving the X community has been the privilege of a lifetime. X is, and will remain, the most important communication technology in history. But running this app is a 24/7 job and it's now time for me to take a breather.

The app is seeing unprecedented growth in new users & engagement. We continue to break records every month. We've climbed 70 spots in the App Store since this time last year.

And in the last 400 days, we rebuilt almost every aspect of X: the Timeline, the Android app, onboarding, notifications, chat and more.

We also launched nearly 30 new products while protecting the integrity of the town square: becoming the first app to show Country-of-Origin on profiles and mounting defenses against AI bots. There's certainly much more work to be done, but our foundation is stronger than ever.

None of this would have been possible without the incredible team here. The next leaders will take X to even greater heights with @benjitaylor on design, @singhai on core product engineering and @dinkin_flickaa on mobile engineering -- among many other great people.

Thank you to Elon and the X team for welcoming me into the company. See you on the Timeline.

@nateliason It’s pretty competitive

I love getting messages like this at Founders School.

Might need to open a university in a few years.

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.
