Named after the hundred-eyed watchman of Greek myth, Argus watches the education landscape: spotting new opportunities, pressure-testing the ventures we're building, and tracing every read back to the real-world signals behind it.
The evidence library: the raw signals the pipeline is watching across the education ecosystem. Every idea is built from these.
Somehow, while we were sleepwalking our way through flipped-classroom and learning-styles fads, the word "memorization” became a dirty word in U.S. education. This was probably misguided. We allowed knowledge to almost seem like a *bad* thing or a waste of time that should otherwise be spent on purely "critical thinking" and "making connections" between ideas. The truth is that you can't make connections without having that knowledge live in your head first. You can’t think critically about science if you don’t know much science. ChatGPT isn't going to get you through a political debate or a nuanced cultural conversation if the core historical facts aren't yet cemented in your brain cells. Call me crazy, but it feels like the tide may finally be shifting back toward appreciating the value of knowledge. It is ironically the fear of AI-driven "cognitive offloading" that is actually helping the pendulum shift back toward the realization of how important knowledge is to education. All it t
I’ve been looking at what the publicly traded postsecondary companies said on their most recent earnings calls, and there seems to be a recurring theme around student acquisition and its evolution given the adoption of LLMs by prospective students. The management teams are saying that prospective students are going through longer and more iterative evaluation processes. Folks are having conversations with their LLMs, who are providing a wealth of information and are offering alternatives. LLMs are now serving as the intermediaries between prospective students and institutions. In the case of the publicly traded companies, this has caused web leads to go down and acquisition costs to go up. Given that the publicly traded institutions are for-profits, I have no sense if what they are seeing is reflective of their sector or if this is something that all higher ed institutions are seeing. What are you seeing at your institutions? What are your thoughts on what's happening regarding prospec
I (18F) study in 12th grade I really want to be a good student. I crave academic validation. I want to get into a really good university. I have such big ambitions. Why don't i put in the effort? I always procrastinate. I always doom scroll. Play stupid games watch stupid videos. I try to quit it then go right back. I want to lock these things away in a vault but I'm pretty sure I'd break that vault open. I feel tired and sleepy all the time. I sleep 4 hours i feel tired. 8 hours still tired. 12 hours also tired. I want to do well but once i do one thing wrong i waste the whole day. I can't get out of this vicious cycle. I sometimes get real motivated and study super well for like 4 days then back to square one. I keep wishing for time to turn back so i could do better. I don't know what's wrong with me. Why can't i keep up with my ambitions? Even those 3 or 4 days that i study real well it feels like I don't actually get enough done. It feels like a huge mountain is in front of me. I
I’m a developer working on Classboard ( https://classboard.online ), a browser-based whiteboard tool I’m building specifically with teachers in mind. It’s still in active development, but I wanted to share it here transparently.The motivation came from seeing how many whiteboard apps are either clunky for live teaching or require downloads. Classboard aims to be lightweight and browser-based, with live collaboration sessions that include camera and microphone support—so you can teach or work with students in real time without leaving the board.It also has a math geometry figures recognition feature, which I’m hoping can save time when drawing shapes or diagrams on the fly.I’m not here to sell—just to get honest feedback from people who know classrooms better than I do. What would make this genuinely useful for you? What’s missing or broken in current tools? I’m listening. submitted by /u/iNFERN4 [link] [comments]
Actually, I'm someone who wants to learn. I already have a university degree. I just want to learn things online in my free time. I've always wondered about the quality of education a good university provides. Therefore, I'm curious if I can access all the courses a student takes in architecture, engineering, computer science, literature, or another field at a good university for free. I've looked at platforms like Edx, Udemy, and Coursera, but they either offer parts of the course or don't offer free access. I want to watch all the courses of any undergraduate program at a good university, in a classroom setting, for free, without providing a diploma. Is there such a thing? I haven't been able to find anything comprehensive online. submitted by /u/GuitarHeroes55 [link] [comments]
This is a paper that takes a Darwinian view on education to try to understand it origins. If we go back far enough in time, education does not exist. So, when does it appear? It largely depends on how we define it and distinguish it from learning. This paper attempts to do this by examining the academic literature in hunter gatherer societies, what psychological studies say about the way children learn, and then what changes when civilizations utilize scripts and have bureaucracies that are in charge of accounting.

Im 27yo and suddently woke up to the fact that i completly messed up my education being consumed by anxiety, feeling not good enough, lack of discipline and simply being distracted and had a very narrow vision of whats possible out there. Im planning on going back to school this fall and i have 2 options : I can either take an online bachelor in computer science or computer science and management (3years). Or an industrial/civil engineering maybe even software if i later decide to switch (4-5). Im newly married, my husband can support me but the guilt and shame i would feel going to school at my age instead of already being established seems almost unbearable. Ive spent the last 5 years searching for what i can do and where can i find money and success while also thinking about having to take care of people around me (cook clean and make money). What is the smarter move? The engineering degree would take 1-2 years longer and is on campus (good for networking, internship but commute). V
CA is one of 5 states that fund by student seat time. I think in CA 4 hrs and 30 min counts as a full day of funding. But all I’ve seen is legislation repealing truancy consequences but I haven’t seen districts push the panic button on funding given the amount of chronic absenteeism. The bar for being chronically absent is >2 absences a month. We have kids at our school who are missing 40% of the year. I think our average is ~35%. Maybe more (I have to pull the data). submitted by /u/ICUP01 [link] [comments]

I'm a senior who has had a deep love for history for years. I absolutely love school, work, and assignments. I have plans to major in history and have a passion for teaching and preserving our history. But my school treats me and it as a joke. I was told I was writing too many notes while studying. My teacher constantly leaves me behind while note taking because I insist on writing more than a few words in my notes. And I've just discovered I waisted four hours drawing and writing out a replica of the Boston Massacre only to see that the rubric says for the assignment says limit to one page for a very complex answer.

Tired of hearing that AI is "destroying students' ability to think," I spent 35 minutes using a simple browser-based AI tool to prove otherwise. The problem isn't the technology; it's our Industrial Age classrooms. Here is a brief essay I crafted through a real-time dialectical dialogue with the AI: Imagine you are a student tasked with writing an essay titled "Darwin in the 21st Century." I set aside half an hour to "converse" with the AI. I started a conversation about a trivial topic, the World Cup, and chatted for two minutes about English teams. Interestingly, Charles Darwin would have known some of them, such as Cambridge University AFC (founded in 1856) and Sheffield FC (founded in 1857). While he certainly didn't play football, he excelled in other areas. He achieved something incredible. He left us two immense legacies: the discovery of evolution and his ethical, human legacy. In less than half an hour, the AI showed me who this remarkable man was and what he accomplished. A
I really want to study English Language and Creative Writing but I cannot justify the £5k a year on open university. If I don’t care about the label and saying hey I have a BA, how realistic is it for me to study using libraries, YouTube and books and learn the same things as if I went to uni for 3-6 years? I know the information is there but without a dedicated class or professor, how does one know what to do or study next? Who would critique my understanding? I’m trying to decide if it’s doable and if I should just start planning for Uni. Info: I don’t qualify for any financial help, I work full time, am a mother and adult not living with parents.

I read a lot of AI text at work. Somewhere between the third "testament to" and the hundredth "delve", I stopped trusting long sentences altogether. So I made a small game called Long Story Short: one sentence a day, keep the five words that actually carry the story, cut the rest. It's a week old. 12,000 plays so far. A retired news editor emails me most mornings to argue about the answers, clause by clause, and he's mostly right. Yesterday two players argued opposite sides of the same word and convinced me my sentence itself was wrong. So from tomorrow the sentences come from real news stories, and the answer is whatever the paper's sub-editor kept. Long Story Short submitted by /u/Mastbubbles [link] [comments]

I have been thinking about education as a one-to-many system. A teacher has to work with many students at once, even though each person arrives with different prior knowledge and gets stuck at different points. But I do not think the answer is to turn education into one student alone with an AI. Learning is also social: discussing, collaborating, seeing how other people think and having a teacher who gives direction. What interests me is whether the individual experience around the same knowledge could become more personal. The source and objective could stay shared, while the explanation, interface, practice and feedback adapt as the person learns. I am building an open-source project around this idea, but I am still trying to understand the boundary. What should become personal, and what would education lose if it stopped being shared? submitted by /u/JoseEstevez22 [link] [comments]

Hi, I just started my junior year of high school, and quite frankly I am disgusted by my state’s education system. It’s abysmal, requiring massive policy upheavals. Nobody is given the opportunity to live up to their full potential. So, if possible, I’d like to do something to change it. The problem is, I’m a bit stumped because I feel absolutely powerless. For more direct context, I live in New Mexico. It is one of (if not the ) lowest ranked states education-wise in the country, and from what I’ve seen is only getting worse. I know that this is also largely due to poverty, but one can’t help but feel like schools are designed to nip attempts of escaping impoverishment in the bud. I, myself, work with a tutoring group to help serve elementary school students who are behind, but my impact is small and it’s hard to make progress when (and I can’t emphasize this enough) they’re missing YEARS of content. I’m very worried for what the future might hold if things continue to trend downwards

Hey everyone, I am currently going into my fourth year as an English Education major, and I have never regretted anything more in my life. I've always wanted to become a teacher, but after my first semester in college I was quick to realize I was too mentally ill to handle it. I ended up attempting to commit suicide, and it obviously did not work. I felt like a failure. Everyone pressured me to keep going and that I will like it eventually, etc etc. So I did. I didn't want to let anyone down like I did before. Now I'm in Phase II, going to start the semester before student teaching, and I can't do it. I can't handle the schedule or stress of teaching. I can't afford to change majors and restart. I haven't been able to work in three years due to the immense workload on top of my already failing mental health. Now, I have hospital bills and student loans. It feels like the only thing left to do is attempt again and pray it works this time. I'm scared. It feels like my life has fallen apa

Willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law The text cites McMahon’s actions to transfer responsibilities, which under law rest with the Education Department, to other agencies. Just last week , she announced that the office overseeing special education would move to the Department of Health and Human Services and the Office of Civil Rights would transfer to the Justice Department. 2. False statements before Congress The resolution accuses McMahon of lying to Congress during her confirmation hearing that she would follow the law in disbursing education funds appropriated by Congress. Instead, the text reads, she has defended the cancellation of several research contracts and discontinued grants for programs like community schools. 3. Breach of public trust Again focusing on funding, the resolution states that the adm
Edit: ND = neurodivergent masking= suppressing needs in order to be more in productive or on the clock in a classroom. I've seen a lot of non-compliance referrals this year in a few districts. Particularly for autistic and other ND children whose own bodies and minds are just done. (And by the way, the brain is also a part of the body as much as many admins seem to like to act like the two are separate.) It's interesting too because often they will have a BIP that says that the child can ask for a break to be proactive. Then the adult will delay the break Or not believe the kid that they do in fact need a break. Then the kid will have a meltdown or a behavior. If you don't leak out some form of dopamine, sensory input/reduction, or easy success for your ND kids, their bodies are going to go on strike. Plain and simple. It's not personal. They aren't being belligerent and disobedient. They just have nothing left to give. submitted by /u/PurplesunsetBluelips [link] [comments]

I've been thinking a lot about how students are using AI tools like ChatGPT in their daytoday schoolwork. There's a real tension right now between two camps. Some educators and students feel like AI genuinely helps with breaking down complex topics, getting instant feedback, and exploring ideas faster. Others feel like it's quietly eroding the skills we actually want students to build: critical thinking, writing from scratch, working through frustration when something is hard. What I keep coming back to is whether the problem is the tool itself or how we're teaching students to use it. We don't ban calculators, but we still teach kids the underlying math. Could the same logic apply here? I'm curious what others have experienced, whether you're a teacher, student, or parent. Have you noticed a difference in how students engage with material when AI is involved? Are schools moving fast enough to set clear expectations, or are we mostly just reacting after the fact? I'd love to hear from

I always wondered what it was like back 50 or 60 years ago like back in the 1950s or 60s for kids that had learning disabilities. I know for kids with regular disabilities like Autism ADHD, Dyslexia. That many of them struggled and were had to work 75 times harder if they wanted to pass or succeed. My grandmother, who passed away in November. She taught third and fourth grade back in the 1950s. And I remember asking her what happened to kids who struggled and she told me that her superiors this was like back in 1955 or 56. She said that they would give the kids coloring books and she told me that she had one boy in her class who didn’t pay attention and her bosses just told her just don’t even bother with teaching him. Just give him a coloring book Or some building blocks. And even back then she felt really bad for him and she’s like no I’m not gonna treat him like a second class citizen I’m gonna challenge him just like all the other kids. obviously good on her. From what she told me,
I'm already seeing signs between parents pressure and students under social media stress they are saying dumb things like "I think I'm going to take a gap year vs transferring to 4 year." LET ME TELL YOU - this is the WORST year to take a gap year in the USA. You will NEVER have a better chance at getting max financial aid or getting into a college or uni that used to have a waitlist. If you just spent all last year pushing these students to be ready to transfer please call, email, or text them. If you are a recruiter and you've been AFK for a month, grab those students.

I am sharing this on behalf of the publisher, but I really think that this book could fuel a much needed conversation in this community. The book is called The Honor Code: Students, Integrity, & Our Path Forward by Tim Plaehn. It just came out through ElectraCast Books. Tim spent ten years as Faculty Chair of a school Honor Council and over 30 years teaching, and the book walks through four real student honor cases in full detail—what happened, what the hearing looked like, and what came after. What makes it different from the usual "kids these days" hand-wringing is that it's actually grounded in what happens inside these situations. He's not theorizing. He was the person deciding outcomes. For anyone in this sub dealing with the AI cheating wave right now, he makes a pretty compelling case that detection tools and zero-tolerance policies are treating the symptom, not the cause. The real fix is culture — and the book gets specific about what that actually looks like in practice. Avail
Last year, our company, Algae Research Supply was awarded a phase 1A Small Business Innovative Research Grant by the Department of Education. More than half of the world's photosynthesis is preformed by microalgae in the ocean, and in turn more than 90% of the strains of algae have remained undiscovered and uncharacterized. We are building a hands-on microbiology program where students isolate living algae from real samples and log their findings to a national science platform, all funded by the U.S. Department of Education. Phase I results: 117 kits shipped, nearly 300 students, real gains in science confidence, and our teachers even helped uncover algae strains with antimicrobial activity. Now we are recruiting teachers to prototype. Should we be awarded the grant, phase 2 will include several rounds over the next two years, and every selected teacher gets a free kit and full materials.

What happens when students are challenged to turn $1 into $100 in just one week? In 1 to 100, Alabama CEO students take on a challenge that pushes them far beyond the classroom. With only one dollar to start, they must think creatively, communicate confidently, solve real problems, and take action. What unfolds is more than a business competition. It is a story of transformation. Over the course of one week, these students build businesses, face rejection, adapt under pressure, and discover strengths they did not know they had. Many earned more in one week than most adults make in a month. But the real outcome goes deeper than money. Confidence grows. Mindsets shift. Students begin to see themselves differently. 1 to 100 captures the power of experiential learning and the impact a community can have when it invests in young people. submitted by /u/i_am_daniel_wilson [link] [comments]
I've been thinking about this a lot lately and wanted to get some perspectives from teachers, students, and parents here. It feels like there's a real shift happening in how learners tackle challenging material, and I'm not sure it's entirely for the better. A few years ago, struggling through a hard problem was kind of the point. That friction was where the actual learning happened. Now it seems like the default response to difficulty is to immediately turn to an AI tool for the answer, or at least a strong hint. The effort threshold before seeking help has dropped dramatically. What worries me isn't that students use AI, but that they may be losing their tolerance for productive struggle. Working through confusion is a skill in itself, and it seems like it's getting bypassed more and more. Have educators here noticed changes in how students handle frustration or ambiguity compared to even two or three years ago? Are there strategies that have actually helped students stay engaged wit

Just read an article about how there is a double standard around AI - with a lot of educational facilities (schools, colleges, and universities) rejecting it and forcing students to complete their work without using AI, so far as to face significant disciplinary action. On the flip side, corporate jobs recruiting basically have all their resources in developing AI solutions for their companies and proving upper management right now matter what, which is driving the dynamic that all hires need to have experience with AI at the least, and ideally being proficient in leveraging tools and understanding AI. Personally, I understand the college side of it because they want the kids to think and hone that side of their mind, not just plug questions in and get answers out. (I, myself, didn’t realize the real reason why we learn things all along the way until the very end of college - it’s not about the information 95-99% of the time. It’s about the students ability to understand it,using diffe
Hello! I am apart of the generation that never learned phonics, I was taught to memorize my words and eventually became well read and read 60+ books a year. I have zero problems understanding literature and analyzing text, and words that I cannot pronounce, I can understand the meaning behind them through context clues, etc. I KNOW HOW TO READ! (Kinda… lmao see later) My problem is PRONUNCIATION!!! I don’t read aloud a lot, and recently I just started reading a book to myself and realized, holy shit, I can’t pronounce these words and I also don’t know how to. I am missing the phonetic knowledge to properly sound words out. For example, here are some words I know how to say from memorizing but I would pronounce like this prior to hearing it correctly: hyperbole → “hyper-bowl” instead of “hy-PER-buh-lee” epitome → “epi-tome” instead of “eh-PIT-uh-mee” segue → “seg” instead of “SEG-way” facade → “fuh-kade” instead of “fuh-SAHD” I could not tell you why those words are pronounced that way.
