Homeschoolers talk about the 2-hour school day. But are we ready for the 5-hour work day?
The 8-hour work day was not ordained from above for all time. It was dreamed up by humans in a particular time period. It doesn't make sense for every person, every job, or every organization. And it makes less sense in the knowledge economy. https://t.co/wIME24wRVe

âJust tell me whatâs on the testâ = old model. âI know how to set a goal and get thereâ = new model. Open education is about raising kids who donât wait for permission to learn.
if you can set a goal and work at it until you succeed that's the only skill you need if school taught kids this skill, they could use it to learn math, program a game, or do anything else they need to

Kids are way more capable than the education system gives them credit for.
Omg, you guys, 5yo has opened a âToddler Schoolâ in our playroom and is practicing her first lesson on me before teaching it to her 2yo brother This might seriously be what gets him started on literacy

5,400 kids tracked. Every 1 hour of daily screen time = 9-10% lower test scores. But not all screen time is equal. Minecraft > Doomscrolling Quality matters more than quantity. https://t.co/ALhnh9XJZY

Research shows that each additional hour of screen time per day links to lower reading and math achievement.

Unpopular opinion: Grade levels are based on a factory model, not childhood development. Teach the CHILD not the Grade Level. (Okay fine this is now a popular opinion and Charlotte Mason knew this 100+ years ago) https://t.co/H4nAPEQXXg
