The *most* frequently recurring feedback from kids in student focus groups we've analyzed from grades 2 to 12 is that they want to go outside, go on field-trips, and do more hands-on experiential learning.
The most frequent piece of feedback we get from students about what they would change about school is that they want MORE hands-on, experiential learning. Kids who get it value it tremendously and kids who don't have it want it so desperately. What part of this does an AI tutor resolve?

In 2024, the remains of a teenage girl found in the basement of a Hell’s Kitchen basement were finally identified as 16-year-old Patricia McGlone. She’d been there since 1969, when the basement was a rock music club called Steve Paul’s The Scene.
I investigate her death & life for Rolling Stone:

Writing for Adrienne at Esquire was a privilege — she was one of the few editors at mainstream outlets interested in showing how unruly, idea-driven stories about book publishing were relevant to a wider readership. Whoever hires her will be lucky.
After nearly nine years at Esquire, I’ve been laid off from my role as Books and Fiction Editor. I’m looking for a new full-time role where I can use my storytelling skills, in the book world or beyond it. If you know of anything, I’m at adriennewestenfeld@gmail.com. (🧵1/10)
