Ever since we were little, we've always looked forward to winter in Gaza. Winter in Gaza used to be pleasant and full of emotion, but that was in the past when there were houses. Today, Gaza's biggest fear is winter; a piece of plastic no more than 1 cm which us ⛺️ can't protect anyone from the cold.

Solar energy is the primary source of electricity in Gaza after the power companies in Gaza shut down on the second day of the genocide against Gaza. A solar energy system consists of batteries, solar panels, and an inverter. These components are currently prohibited from entering Gaza

Each of the stories has a point where the CogSci influencer has to reveal they would never send their own kids to Alpha. Groshell's kid gets whole books, journaling, and drawing with a human-led, small-group learning while your kid gets repeated foundational skills instruction from a math app.
5. He builds these apps - and he did not send his daughter to Alpha

I love a twist, and Zach produced a good one at the end of our chat.

Zach separates two things that usually get bundled together: the app itself, and what a child does with the rest of the day. “Alpha” is just the name for the schools at the expensive end of this network - apps in the morning, life-skills and projects in the afternoon. But the same apps are being dropped into very different models. There is Texas Sports Academy, for the child who currently suffers through a school that cannot keep order and then comes alive at half three for sport - two hours of apps in the morning, sport in the afternoon, and crucially a model cheap enough to be heading for the US voucher system. There is Montessorium in Austin, where the mornings are unapologetic Engelmann DI and the afternoons are human-led, small-group, Montessori-style academic work.

Zach chose Montessorium for his daughter. Not because he doubts the apps - he builds them - but because she loves reading whole books, journaling and drawing, and the sport-in-the-afternoon model would do nothing for her. The apps, in other words, are not a school. They are an efficient engine for getting foundational skills into a child’s head in about two hours, and that engine can live inside whatever model fits a family’s values. The morning is the foundational skills. The afternoon is where the values actually live
