An unexpected benefit of 2020..

Is this limiting your teen's success?

When OpenEd CEO Isaac Morehouse created @Praxis over a decade ago, he had a radical idea: you don't need a college degree to build an awesome career. Hundreds of students later, the results speak for themselves. Through 6-month apprenticeships with growing companies, Praxis participants get real skills, actual experience, and a job. No debt required. Now, with their recent acquisition by Libertas Network, they're scaling up to help even more young adults break free from the college conveyor belt.

What college actually costs vs. what you get...?Gary Vee just dropped a truth bomb about higher education that's making parents uncomfortable. "My point of view on college is based on unemotional math. The math is broken." For generations, we've accepted an unquestioned formula: College Degree = Career Success But what happens when employers like Tesla, Apple, and Google remove degree requirements?

Why classroom logic limits teen's potential..

If your child fights everything in your homeschool... Have you tried asking them what THEY want to learn? When children feel forced or trapped, resistance is natural.

It's more effective.

5 things we value most in personalized education: Fluid learning - Children shouldn't have to stop exploring a subject just because "the bell rang." Let interests drive the schedule. Minimal essentials - Just 20 minutes each of reading, writing, and math daily creates a strong foundation without overwhelming families. Abundant exploration - The afternoon is for libraries, nature, museums, and real-world engagement that textbooks can't match. Family harmony - Education happens during productive daytime hours, keeping evenings free from homework battles. Natural rhythms - Learning follows engagement and curiosity rather than arbitrary time blocks imposed by traditional systems. What would you add to this list?
