Can “soulless” teaching help kids fall in love with a topic?
To build a kid’s confidence, should you try to build their confidence?
When is “ya can’t measure what matters!” deep wisdom — and when’s it a dodge?
And maybe most importantly, how might we keep what works in Direct Instruction while elevating it, so that education becomes an adventure?
Tomorrow, we’ll be exploring these questions (and more!) in our Substack Live event, as we tackle the third episode of Sold a Story, “The Forgotten Experiment.”
Sunday, November 8
2pm Eastern / 11am Pacific / Your local time

It’s free for all subscribers (paid and unpaid alike). You don’t have to have listened to the episode beforehand — I’ll bring you up to speed, and we’ll puzzle through the ideas together.
Again, bring your questions, objections, and half-baked hypotheses! You can engage in the chat, or simply nod along while you wash your dishes.1
If you missed our previous discussions, you can watch the recording of our responses to the first episode, and to the second one. But they’re optional — tomorrow’s discussion stands on its own.
Hope to see you there!
You’ve been meaning to get around to that anyway.
