Life skills life skills life skills! We hear it from thousands of parents- they want their kids taught how to succeed in the real world! But not at the expense of academic rigor. Most schools have an emphasis on one over the other. We focus on both!

1️⃣ You wouldn’t go to work if you weren’t getting

1️⃣ You wouldn’t go to work if you weren’t getting paid, would you? So why do we expect kids to enthusiastically participate in school without some kind of reward?

This is how real life works. Adults work for pay. Your kids are already likely incentivized in other areas.

Video games reward players with rankings, extracurricular competitions (sports, debate or robotics clubs, etc) often offer rewards like trophies, medals, or cash prizes.

Why can’t academic success also be incentivized?

2️⃣ This teaches how to set and stick to goals. At our schools, our students work with their Guides to set realistic yet appropriately challenging goals. Students also decide what their reward will be.

This is something you can recreate at home no matter what kind of school your kids attend.

A few examples of rewards students have chosen:

🌮Chipotle with their Guide
👟New Adidas Sambas
🧱Lego set
🛍️Shopping spree at Brandy Melville
🚙A local excursion
💳 VISA gift card
🧸Squishy toy / stuffed animal
🎮A Nintendo Switch
🍿Special snacks
🛋️Time in exclusive cozy spaces that we’ve created

3️⃣This teaches kids financial literacy. They learn the value of hard work, how to save up for certain prizes, and delay gratification.

So far, this has worked exceedingly well for our students who might not typically be as intrinsically motivated to succeed academically.

What are your thoughts? Have you implemented this with your own kids or students?

Our students work with the absolute latest technology, in all areas of their education. We are constantly evaluating, iterating, and assessing every aspect of our technology, insuring we are adopting the best, discontinuing what doesn’t work, and training our students to be pioneers in whatever field they choose.

POV- the kindergartners and first graders at your schools know more than you about entrepreneurship 🤓 We have life skills workshops every afternoon that are fun!! Our students love them. They are primarily centered around financial literacy and entrepreneurship, public speaking and story-telling, leadership and teamwork, grit and hard work, and socialization an relationship-building.

I’ve met with White House representatives. Policy makers at the federal and state level. Decision makers who hold the fate of our society in their hands.

Unfortunately, change is hard. Out of the 10+ states I’ve petitioned to bring our model for free as a virtual charter option, only one has accepted.

The result? Our model is available, but only as a private school in select cities where there’s enough demand. We’re still growing rapidly this way, but our goal is for students everywhere, at every income level, to be able to use this model of learning.

Public school is a sinking ship. Without radical change, it will bankrupt the education of students and bankrupt the wallets of well-intentioned teachers, all trapped in a system that’s doomed to fail.

America, when will we stand up for change?

Who failed a grade? How’d it work out for you? Who’s honest enough to admit their kid should have failed a grade but got passed on anyway?
