We should start with learning how to read: https://www.apmreports.org/story/2018/09/10/hard-words-why-american-kids-arent-being-taught-to-read …

This is long and I still feel like you're missing the point. It's not exactly what or how we teach kids. My argument is about values and he we structure our thinking. When we let data and results live at the core of our beliefs, we lose our humanity

@hadip this is point I'm trying to make

It’s possible in 30 years we may not have “grades” - neither 1st..12th nor A..F. Both are constructs from a pre-tech age, and may disappear as schools shift towards teaching creativity instead of rote memorization, and learning becomes more personalized.

Ugh now this conversation is all white and white adjacent men. We suck.

I’m an Iranian immigrant who escaped an Islamic regime and war, I grew up poor, and was given Islamophobic nicknames my whole childhood. What does “white adjacent” mean? Shouldn’t one’s work or opinions be judged on merits not on gender or race?

I'm with you man, but we are white adjacent. This is Def a phone or in person convo

Btw I know you meant that in an inclusive + funny way. Zero offense taken. I also understand the value of making room for non-dominant voices. Iranian immigrants are not “dominant” in the USA. They’re literally banned.
