We also discuss wearable technology for monitoring engagement and strategies for integrating students from traditional to agency-based settings.\nThis episode delves into the rise of alternative education and its potential to replace traditional schooling. We highlight the effectiveness of Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) in making personalized learning accessible and discuss the importance of self-directed learning, Socratic dialogue, and flexibility in education to help students thrive as resilient, well-rounded individuals.\n00:00 - Intro\n01:41 - Turning Down $140k at 16 for a RevShare Deal\n02:54 - Shifting from What to Learn to How to Learn\n04:37 - What EdTech is Michael Excited About?\n05:46 - How Do We Foster Agency in Students?\n10:25 - Is Math Hurting Students?\n16:48 - Measuring Student Well-being\n20:09 - It's More Than Just Smartphones\n23:13 - The Bureaucratic Nightmare\n28:40 - Empowering Parents in Educational Choices\n34:16 - Kids Don't Learn Anything In Math For 9 Years\n35:54 - How To Give Your Child An Expensive Private Education For $3000 A Year\n38:08 - Unity And Community in the Alternative Education Movement\n42:26 - Reading is 80% Of Learning\n45:10 - Embracing Challenges in Life\n50:06 - Michael's Personal Socratic Problem Solving Method\n51:20 - How To Ask Better Questions\n54:20 - The Last Question and Where To Find Michael\n\nLet's connect!\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/BlakeBottrill\nYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@dstlld","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/YZNy0QNrMLCbrRInpzSr2KmZGxjhz3kh4wrhitM7ySA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8xMDhh/NTBlYjdiZDNiNzA2/MGUwN2E2NzM5ODI1/NzlmZi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
