  1. Giving a grade and moving on only make sense if the educational system is just a big signalling machine, to sift the ‘smart’ kids from the not. Not if you actually want to change the students passing through. Aand close parens.)

  2. If a student comes into a class super prepared, gets As consistently, but another student started with Cs, improved a lot, eventually started getting As, what's the fairest way to grade them? Most answers feel unfair. Maybe the best is "weighted average biased towards recency"

  3. (Mastery-based learning is teaching philosophy that asks: “After a student gets 70% on a test, why do we just let them . . . move om? Shouldn’t we go back and help them until they master that 30% too?” . . .

  4. PhDs are an example of mastery-based learning 😮

    (Disclaimer: This only applies to bad habits! i.e., uncontrollable urges that cause you to feel a lot of internal conflict and that you don't really want to consciously do It's different if you think your ice cream eating or YouTube-watching is perfectly healthy 🙏.) 10/10

    You don't have to eat that tub of 🍦. You don't have to watch YouTube. You can ignore it. Listen deeper, and put your giraffe ears on 🦒 ✌️, Y 9/n

    What I'm saying is this: Next time your brain has an urge for a bad habit . . . Feel empowered to stop. Ask what the deeper need is. And NOT TAKE THE URGE LITERALLY. You're brain doesn't LITERALLY mean it wants ice cream. It wants something else. 8/n

    Most of the time, the ice cream-eating and binge-watching won't even feel that fun. It'll feel gross and icky and maybe give you momentary relief but not really what you need. Much like a relationship fight. 7/n

    Next time you a feel bad habit urge to pop a pint of icecream, ask yourself: What's the deeper emotional need here? Is it really about eating the 🍦? Or does your brain want something else Is it really about watching YouTube 📺? Or about relief from a loud Inner Critic 6/n

    Bad habits work the same way. Every time you have an urge: “aaah I really want to {insert habit here}” . . . That's your brain trying to desperately go from one emotional state to another. From an unbearable 😥 to even a momentary ☺️ 5/n

    We can listen with our jackal ears or our giraffe ears: Jackal ears 🐺: listening for personal attacks, hurtful words, inaccurate & disprovable statements Giraffe ears 🦒: listening for deeper emotional truth under the words. The human insecurities, pain, deeper needs 4/n

    We mask our needs with these oblique, non-literal phrases It's bad, but . . . it works ⚡. The attention we so desperately crave? We get it. Even if it's negative attention. Even if it's a fight 🗣️. The part of our brain craving attention gets it. 3/n

    Instead of “I want more hugs” . . . “you’re so distant.” Instead of “I miss quality time & your full attention” . . . “Do you want to go out for dinner?” Instead of “I want to feel you care more about this relationship” . . . “You're so unreliable. You never help.” 2/n

    A similar tactic I've had success with: Using conventional penpal-style email exchanges as essay fodder. It focuses me on a particular, single-person audience, which somehow makes it so much easier for me to write fluidly in a conversational style. I strongly recommend it!

    Theory: Mirrors increase consciousness. The idea of “me” is strengthened when you see yourself daily (vs. the random glance in a pond). You become more self-aware of your existence, your features, your uniqueness. The loop of consciousness (“knowing that you know”) is tighter.

    So keep going. Even on the bad days when it feels useless. Your bad streak will end. When it does, you'll be glad you kept going. ➡️📅🥳

    Today, I finally broke through. Had an 👌🧘😊. And I am SO glad I kept going those two weeks. It's fine to have “half-practices” where you feel you didn't make progress. Because you don't make that much process on any single day anyway. 3/4

    For two weeks, I had TERRIBLE meditations 😫🧘 . . . sleepy, agitated, confused. For two weeks, each session felt useless. I was so sleepy to begin with. Why even bother? For two weeks, I kept going. Doing half-practices when I couldn't do the full. 2/4
