On the blog this week we explore the potential end of multiple-choice questions in education. πŸ“š While efficient they can't evaluate critical thinking. πŸ€” With AI, we can now assess complex, open-ended responses accurately. Is it time to move on? bit.ly/3VjSgdQ πŸš€

It's interesting to ask "when do kids loose their ambition?" This research looks specifically at STEM. One contributing factor is what I like to call identity dissonance. Role-models matter.
Kids aren’t learning ANYTHING in school. Once they get to 8th grade, they’re learning less than 15% of a grade level across all subjects per year. They are wasting away their childhoods.
