A school’s definition of insanity:
“Test scores didn’t improve, so this year we’re rolling out the exact same program… but with a new logo, a new acronym, and a mandatory PD called ‘Bold Change 2.0.’”

Slonig - free tutoring at schools Studying at school is boring and useless — every time you ask a teacher a question, they have no time to answer. Asking your friend is an option, but they’re bad at teaching. Slonig makes them good.

Teacher friends, for years every new “innovation” has only made us more overloaded and unhappy — less time, more bureaucracy. But this time it’s different.
I’m developing an app that simplifies lesson prep. Could you please give it a like on the hackathon page?

#A – Sauron’s Ring of Education I am a living example that education doesn’t work.

Teachers are victims of the system no less than children are.

The school year just started, but it already feels like it’s been going on forever. So, dear teachers… exactly how many days are left until break?

Four words you need to know about explaining: “Explaining does not work.” Didn’t catch it? You know why? Because explaining doesn’t work.

I’ve found collaborators in Europe, Africa, and even Japan. But I’m stuck with the US—no professor there seems willing to accept money or help from me.

#EduSky, If I gave a professor $400K, they wouldn’t accept it. Why? Because they don’t know me. So far, I’ve written 12 grant applications requesting over $10 million to change how the school system is organized.

Schools are breaking teachers. I’m fighting for them. Please help me reach the professors who taught you in university—we need to change how pedagogy is taught. Like, repost, and share. Let’s fix the system together!

Some of the worst teacher stress comes from... other teachers.

Some teachers quietly record conversations. Not because they want to—but because it's their only protection.

Teachers teach through fear: fear of lawsuits, fear of retaliation, fear of admin.

Teachers are expected to perform miracles, with no time, no support, and no safety net. I’m going to fix it with Slonig.

Behind the smile of a teacher is a twitch, a panic attack, or a tear no one sees.

If a teacher says, “I don’t feel safe in my classroom,” believe them. Then ask what you can do to help.

We don’t need perfect kids or perfect teachers. We need partnerships based on respect, honesty, and shared goals.

The best teacher is the one whose name children don't even remember, because the teacher allows them to communicate with each other rather than just with the teacher.

Let’s stop making teachers choose between doing what’s right for the class and keeping their job. They’re stuck in a no-win situation.

Some parents want AI to teach their kids, while others are afraid of AI in schools. The fact is, we still use faxes in schools. No rush.

The teachers who stay aren’t staying because it's easy. They're staying because they care. But they shouldn’t have to sacrifice their mental health to do it.
