Working on it.
I am looking forward to this read! I saw a clip where she mentioned the tutoring sessions in hyperbolic geometry -- so cool!

Bedtime. Might not finish the podcast. Woof.

Oh my heart. 24 minutes, we're celebrating the (hypothetical) boy who doesn't like reading getting a custom Marvel story (I expected a law podcast to have something to say about IP here...) where he's the hero. Yes, cool, but not the point of reading??

Like, I'm fully on board with wanting to improve what you're selling, but off of the students' labor? Do they get to opt-in? (Or even opt-out?)

22 minutes, talking privacy and what happens with all that student data. This is something I've only recently started to tune in on: these parents are paying $40,000 for their kids' work to be used to sell a (argued) better product.

Now at 17 minutes: "I don't know many schools that would say 'okay junior in high school, we're going to have you revisit multiplication table'"
I have a hard time imagining a school that *wouldn't* say that to a kid who's struggling??

Strongly!

I saved it as a textexpander snippet, so I actually use en quite a bit!

Looking forward to reading it!

My current favorite mismatch: depending on the specific sequence and placement of clicks, this Desmos construction gives you different behavior as you drag one endpoint of the line around the other: www.desmos.com/geometry/ndo... (two lines with the different sequences, for ease of investigation)

On some level, the assumption is *never* correct: we're thinking about circles and lines, while the computer is manipulating 1s and 0s with some special rules! So there's at least potential for mismatch.
