“I believe that life is fragile yet simultaneously relentlessly resilient”. If we can come to terms with how relentlessly resilient we are (even in the face of imposter syndrome which can tend to drive more resiliency and innovation), we can come to terms with building, measuring, learning, and building better/doing better.

While standardized scores help to create efficiency in understanding how effective a teaching program is or efficiencies in recruiting for something, benchmarking systems of learning around those scores undervalues unique learning styles and unique approaches to winning within kids. Its sad that a lot of kids are not given the space to create a habit of learning according to what works for them and contributing to the world from those learnings till they breakout of secondary school to live a more independent life. What would a world look like where teachers were equipped with independent learning plans not just for special education students but broadly for cohorts of students with similar learning styles but different within a classroom.
