We are listening to the US President upending democracy and attempting to steal this country. Declaring himself victor and going to the Supreme Court to stop any more votes from being counted is...straight up autocracy. A very very sad day for our country.

Big day for our democracy. I'm America First not Democrat First, but America was slipping away under Trump. Watch Trump dig in and make these next months about him not the country.

Trump has consistently surprised us with his ability to pull off unlikely things. He is good at 1 in 100 chances that seem to others far less likely. He is familiar with lawsuits and manipulating the courts. We ignore his ability to turn this around at our own peril.

@erikamaren Ya more that we parents should check our intent on *why*- is it cultural/cognitive -or fairly obsolete ideas about status/value

Together, we stand against discrimination. Diversity is not tangential to AltSchool’s mission—it is foundational. bit.ly/2kzxxkI

Earlier this month we made the painful decision to close two lab schools after this school year. I wrote about these changes and how deeply sorry I am for the disruption this has caused families. altschool.com/post/our-commi…

This decision allows us to invest more time and energy in four lab schools and our personalized learning platform. Our mission remains to enable all children to reach their potential. To do that, we must support a broad movement to make the best education the most available.

In 2013, we set out to provide educators with tools that could help students drive their own learning by understanding themselves deeply as learners. We’re proud of our students and our results so far. altschool.com/post/congratul…

Students have continued to improve their academic achievement each year. We are especially proud of our students in the lowest fifth percentage who have shown the greatest learning improvements.

We know what a big leap of faith families, partners, and employees took to join AltSchool. We are deeply grateful for their support. The path to transforming education is long and hard, and we will never stop trying to figure out how to better play our part.
