Why Are You Still Sending Your Kids to School? 🤔

[Blake Boles @blakeboles]

🧐 A few questions that motivate me:
Why has dissatisfaction with public schools been the norm since their inception?
What other paths can a young person take if they hate school? Later, what options do they have for rejoining the "normal" worlds of college and career?

@myfirstmilpod my friend @NicoleKelner recommended your June 29 episode where you discussed unschooling; all the concerns you brought up I cover (w/ refs) in my 2020 book, Why Are You Still Sending Your Kids to School? https://t.co/6TkjFzfhxD

@phokarlsson @stevekrouse Yesterday I searched Outschool for chatgpt—looks like there are some educators trying to harness it. https://t.co/lReSz4r0QI

[Blake Boles @blakeboles]

@stevekrouse @phokarlsson That's been on my mind! Happy to knock heads together

Here's the best metaphor I've seen for why the business model pioneered by Facebook has been so damaging. From Gerd Gigerenzer. If only they had put the effort into micropayments, rather than ad markets.

Friends in alternative education: please consider donating to this excellent and much-needed film project.

I know both of the young people behind it, and I vouch for their excellence. (Even if I didn't know them, I would donate!)

@alxheller Nomad feels more purposeful than wanderer

[Blake Boles @blakeboles]

New talk about "alternative paths to college", in both senses: "alternative ways to get into college" + "alternatives to college".

@KaceyKintscher @garyvee Thank you :)

[Blake Boles @blakeboles]

@alxheller @airalocom I'm grateful you pointed me toward them!

One of these entrepreneur-disrupters needs to leave social media and app development and AI and space exploration alone and simply figure out a way to make plain old commercial air travel less dehumanizing and soul crushing.
