The industrial revolution gave us industrial education: same curriculum, same pace, same test for every child. One size fits all, by design, to churn out millions of punctual, obedient workers.

Tall poppies get cut down to the middle.

The intelligence revolution requires us to rebuild education from first principles to prepare kids for the future. Personalized education that is adaptive, grounded in learning science, generative and self-improving based on real-time data from each student.

Every student receiving exactly what they need at exactly the right time so progress compounds.

I’m proud to be part of this movement!

The last time a new machine threatened a third of American jobs, we reinvented how we educated our kids.

That bet sparked an epic 100-year run.

It is time to make it again.

Tech created the problem, but it can also be part of the solution.

Imagine a tablet and stylus writing app where students plan, draft, revise, and polish all in one place.

Pasted text, unnatural revision history, changes in writing style/mechanics, plagiarism, etc all get automatically flagged.

Personalized one-on-one writing tutoring at scale, enabled by tech.

Once we finish building our handwriting and spelling courses, @ScribbleDotApp will start exploring a composition course built for exactly this.

Sobering article. Teachers feel they must limit writing assignments to classroom time, to combat AI cheating.

The downstream cost: students aren't being asked to do longer-form writing anywhere.

"Now she limits essay writing to the classroom, by hand, where students have little opportunity to develop longer, more complex arguments. The result, she admits, is that they may be unprepared for college-level writing.

Even her best students’ “eyes would fall out of their head,” she said, if she asked them to write an eight-page paper.

Her solution ensures that kids do their own work, but it may come at a cost. They lose the long, messy practice of learning how to compose at length and, some argue, how to think."
