I spent this essay trying to reason about why U.S. school spending roughly tripled while measured achievement stayed flat, without sliding into politics. The Substack is a new project I'm starting, and I'd value sharp pushback on where my reasoning breaks down in this essay.

1/ U.S. per-pupil spending roughly tripled in real terms over the 50-year span since 1970. Achievement scores have remained flat. Why?

@krishnanrohit My pleasure :)

@jliemandt @jliemandt Can I ask how it is going with scaling the model?

[Dr. Michael Connell @MichaelWConnell]

@15minslate @jliemandt It’s not simply two hours of AI lead instruction and then they call it a day. They cover core academic skills like math and grammar more efficiently with AI so they have a lot more time for learners to spend on high-interest learning, such as project-based learning.

@CrMglg @DavidDeutschOxf @ItsMauryaWorld @elonmusk Rotflmao… Dumb? This man laid the theoretical foundations for quantum computing.

TJernigan: we need to take great science we know & understand how this works IN CLASSROOMS (bold mine) -collaborative work!
Linda D.Hammond: Educators are out there doing extraordinary work, we need to capitalize on that.
Yup! Here’s my fav model by @MichaelWConnell #IMBES2018
