AI is moving too fast for unclear storytelling. If you can’t articulate your category in two sentences, you don’t have one.

Why I’m taking on education: It needs a system update. Today’s teachers need new tools and students need more engagement. ExoDexa hopes to solve that problem for students and teachers alike, with real-time feedback and video game-inspired principles. Learn more: Exodexa.com or linkedin.com/pulse/why-im-ta…

In 1970 the American middle class received 62% of the country’s aggregate income; today it’s 42%. The top 1% now owns 32% of our nation’s wealth, and the bottom 50% owns 3%. America has never been so disdainful of its workers.

The U.S. is falling behind the rest of the world in basic math proficiency. Only 1 in 3 U.S. students currently are proficient in basic math, and this falls to only 1 in 5 if students are experiencing poverty. U.S. math scores rank #30 among 79 countries. thebalancemoney.com/the-u-s-…

U.S. Education Rankings Are Falling Behind the Rest of the World

The United States' education rankings are slipping. The country is losing out to China and other countries increasing their number of high-tech jobs.
