I’ll still not get over schools making it out as if Mahatma Gandhi was a saint. Top tier brainwashers

What 1 Crore gets you? [1] You can't buy a house in Mumbai, Delhi, Gurugram (at least not a liveable one for a family) * You could look at something at the outskirts (maybe). And commute for hours. [2] You can't send your kids abroad for studying at most MBA programs abroad * barring a few countries; or if it is a public university [3] You (maybe) can't send your kids to international schools (not kidding, in Delhi, British School the donation for class 1 kid is 95 Lakhs) Welcome to the new world. Where excess money printing & debt has destroyed your buying power.

Duolingo is a fascinating study in consumer "education." The app is fairly useless for language learning* but is wildly popular. 88.4M Monthly Active Users 6.6M Paid Subscribers $530M in FY 2023 Revenue $93.7M in FY 2023 EBITDA The kicker? $8.4B market cap. 2x bigger than Udemy + Coursera combined. Shocking considering it is more edutainment than education.* Lessons: - Consumers often engage more with edutainment (competing with Candy Crush or TikTok) than education. There's a very weak correlation to effectiveness. (MasterClass is another example imho: low on learning, still very successful). - Duolingo still has a HUGE impact on language learning for millions of people because they are 1000x bigger. Even if they are 100x less effective than another language learning app, they can still provide 10x more value to the overall population. - Growth and EBITDA are significant better than Udemy/Coursera. The market loves profitable, fast-growing companies (why wouldn't they?) *Sorry, but its true. Duolingo is a fun game, but you can spend years on it and not be able to have a conversation in your language of choice.

The first reaction to a disruptive force is censorship. But it never works. Financial education will and has been forever changed. pic.twitter.com/yQ4j3fHj4x

A point I make to conservatives who claim that test scores show "US schools are failing" is that US Asians and whites are near the top in international achievement, ranked 3rd and 7th, respectively, on the PISA. The dismal US average score (26th) is the result of the lousy performance of blacks (53rd) and Hispanics (42nd).

The Supreme Court has already determined that the White House does not have the authority to ‘cancel’ student loan debt, and yet the administration is once again trying to buy votes by supposedly ‘forgiving’ millions of dollars in loan debt.    The reality is that these debts are not ‘forgiven,’ they are merely transferred to American taxpayers, many of whom made sacrifices to get an education they could afford. It is only just and fair for borrowers, not the American people, to be responsible for paying off their own debts.

i’m seeing photos of the corpses of doctors handcuffed and face down in a mass grave and i’m expected to believe the college kids who don’t to help finance that violence with their life ruining debt are the villains here?

This is insane. A new high school outside Dallas dedicated 1/3 of their floor space to entrepreneurship. The 1st floor is a mall, where 15+ local businesses set up shop so students can be mentored, apply for jobs & learn how to run a biz. There's also a: - recording studio - photo studio - makerspace innovation lab - coding lab - eSports lab - 10,000 square foot theatre - 7,000 seat arena The on site businesses get a cheaper lease if they mentor students. Floors 2-3 have normal HS classes The school is becoming a template for other schools and is called Opportunity Central. Better yet, this school cost a whopping $100 million LESS than a normal new high school. The superintendent sounds like a hero. Imagine if more administrators had common sense like this: You can be the most knowledgeable veterinarian in the world but if you can’t run the veterinary hospital and the business side to it, you’re not going to be very successful long-term. This makes me proud to live in Texas. Would love to see this become more common. I want to be a part of this somehow.

So Norway banned smartphones in schools and 3 years later, girls’ GPAs are up, their visits to mental health professionals are down 60% and bullying in both boys and girls is down 43-46%. That’s wild

The only things teachers should be armed with is a living wage and school supplies (that they didn’t have to pay for)
