I have long admired Mitt Romney, but never more than today. What an honorable man.

A clever application of research implemented by . To reduce cognitive load while someone is learning a new concept, gradually “fade” steps of a solution out and let the learner complete progressively more each time.

This is excellent! I’ve been imagining an automated race-style form similar to this for a while, where the kid works to solve the next step before the worked example does. Happy to hear the exercise works in practice.

Singapore's system is unusual enough (and effective enough) that it's worth covering as well. A bit disappointed not to see it here.

This is an interesting finding, but let's not get all silver-bullet about it. Education has seen a million "This One Simple Trick"-style innovations based on single studies. Nearly all of them fail when they're scaled up.

A vital piece. "If you heard about a country populated by two major races or ethnicities or religions, and they talked about each other the way today’s Americans talk about the opposing political tribe, you’d be very, very concerned about that country."

Fascinating example both of animal cognitive testing and evolutionary tradeoffs.

Nicky Case is an inspiration and one of the sharpest minds around online education. This decade in review piece is a fascinating look at what it took to get there.

6 at night + 20 minute nap is about as extreme as I’d recommend after trying other variants and being perpetually tired + inconvenienced. Currently mostly convinced that biphasic/polyphasic sleep isn’t usually worth the effort.

I was one of the 40% in my first shot at college. Nobody from the school reached out when I left. Nobody noticed. Nobody cared. I just slipped away into the night and an algorithm assigned my scholarship elsewhere. The system is a faceless, blind machine.

“You handing your kids a curriculum full of fascinating problems is distressing bs. Me writing a few of those problems on my board is innovative and perfect.” Sorry, I prefer AoPS’s take to yours.

What would you do for the students in that spot in math class? Specifically, realistically, within standard constraints.

Are you at all familiar with AoPS prealgebra or are you just being contrary for its own sake? It includes, in fact, a billion things with ratios, percentages, and fractions. (+ intros to counting, probability, statistics, more)

I absolutely agree with this. My point in suggesting online tools is that they're better than nothing in the absence of a structure willing/able to help a specific student stretch, but having well-matched mentors and classmates is many times better.

The hook for this conversation was about gifted kids. Of course I'm going to be focusing on them in this thread. My thoughts on lower-skill kids will have to wait for a more opportune time.

Considerably superior to NYC education on the low end. Nothing anywhere even loosely similar to Stuyvesant and the like for kids who want that. Suburban education is flatter than NYC: little terrible, little exceptional. As with most things about the suburbs.

Only? No, I care about the lower ability kids who are disillusioned too. I talk about them less because everyone else talks about them more, but I'm passionate about helping them too.
