In order to get an idea of how massive the US K-12 education system is I often tell people a surprising statistic.
The United States has over 132,000 K-12 schools spread across the country.
By comparison, there are 13,000 McDonalds in America.

Quit bad books.
Trying to finish a bad book is like walking through the mud with a wheelbarrow full of bricks.
Skim a lot of books. Read a few. Immediately re-read the best ones twice.

So much of what kids learn comes from mirroring.
The biggest lessons they’re getting in the classroom aren’t from their textbook. They’re from the habits they acquire.
Let your kids be educated by the people you hope they become — likely the doers of the world.

Whenever anyone asks @elonmusk how he learned to build rockets, he says, ‘I read books.’
Not only does he read them, he devours them.
Here are 12 he loves.

Things that don’t traumatize children:
- learning about systemic racism and teaching them about diversity
- wearing a mask
Things that do traumatize children:
- experiencing racism
- active shooter drills
- seeing someone they love get sick and/or die from Covid

Wish we could get people as upset about 75% of kids not reading at grade level as we can seem to do about masks.

Love this article by @lucykellaway about changing careers in your 50s. It reminds me of that great book, Hundred Year Life by @lyndagratton that @evanbfrank gave me a few years back.

+1 from the father of three daughters.
"The more that the achievements and triumphs of women are promoted and publicized, the more likely it is that other girls all around the world will see that they can do any and everything that they put their minds to."
