@StephenVainker The whole 'imagine a world where animals act like humans' intro. Like kids haven't been reading and watching stories about anthropomorphic animals since birth. Jeeeeesus

If you're promoting Alpha School and have ever once in your life claimed to be knowledge rich - especially with literature - you are the most egregious hypocrite that ever walked this educational earth and should be shunned by polite society

What if school was more fun than your kids' favorite video game or show?

Our 20h AI-generated cartoon looks better than most modern cartoons.

It also introduces the relevant background knowledge for each lesson.

Readventure will be live at Alpha School in the fall.

@PlaycademyEdu This is the worst and stupidest thing I've ever seen. Throw yourselves into the cruel sea ASAP

Also this beats both

The UK version of hash browns (picture B) is a horrifying downgrade of the US version (picture A). Everything else being said about US food superiority is clickbait bullshit. The hash browns dominance is tragically real.

@oowgn Yes it does. But a diner would never

@LukeWattsUK @Ameer_Kotecha What if some of those nurses, veterans, care workers, paramedics and teachers, like my dad, are married to people, like my mum, with ILR? Deport one parent?

[Goodbye, Ms Chips @GoodbyeMsChips]

@Ameer_Kotecha My American mother came here in 1969, married my dad, worked and raised two British children, got a degree and PGCE and taught British kids for over two decades. My parents' house was repossessed in the 80s and we ended up in a council house. Should she have been deported?

@JSHiggins_ @tomhfh Mate. Until my teens we had 2 (two) channels on which to watch whatever BBC or ITV decided would be good for us between the hours of 3 and 5 p.m on weekdays and 9:30-12:30 on Saturday

@socialistfella I am literally talking about the taste (also I'm British)

Jaw-dropping that some 'knowledge rich' educators have pivoted seamlessly to 'reading is hard'

[MacKenzie Price @mackenzieprice]

Forcing kids to read things they hate just simply doesn’t work. Our reading philosophy at Alpha is simple: kids learn to love reading by reading what they love.

Sure, it’s important for kids to be exposed to classic literature. But being forced to read highbrow literature as a young teen is often the very thing that makes kids hate reading in the first place. Many of them never bother picking up a novel again. If the goal is to have students fall in love with reading and become life-long readers, then we should cater the material to their interests. Whether it’s comic-books, books about insects, or a biography on the Kardashians, there has to be a better way.

We built our own app called Teach Tales to solve this problem.

@DriveAliveMPAC @planfromspace I haven't been back since 2018. Happy to be wrong!

@POTUS048 @WanderasLuke Then wow wow wow, easy Tiger. I'm just answering a simple question for clarification.

@Christo43568284 I lived in Minnesota for a year in the mid 90s. SCARRED

@Christo43568284 Agreed (but never try ambrosia salad if offered to you at a potluck)
