🧵 If this is your first homeschool year, keep these things in mind: 1. Your kids may finish their school work in half the time. That’s because every subject doesn’t take 55 minutes. Don’t force the public school clock at home. Finish the lessons and enjoy your day!

"If Jesus came down right now, would you be His son or would you be someone who's studying Jesus?" Powerful.

My latest @WSJopinion piece: Why the “FAFO” (Find Out) parenting trend misses the mark. Kids need boundaries and guidance to thrive, not just tough love. Read here: wsj.com/opinion/dont-f…

This parallels Jonathan Haidt's argument that we have overprotected children in the physical world while underprotecting them in the digital world. As a culture, we suffer the chronic delusion that damage to the mind and soul are no big deal. Not like real injuries.

A friend’s coworker offered this insight on AI non-regulation, and I think it’s one of the sharpest things I’ve read yet

There is nothing in the world more inspiring than the wonder in a small child’s eyes. There is nothing more demoralizing than watching that wonder die at the hands of the public school system.

Teachers, please come, lets talk

13/ Goodbye manual research in 2025.

Kids don't need perfect parents. They need parents who love their authentic selves. When you embrace their natural strengths instead of forcing your preferred path, you create humans who thrive, not humans who perform.
