This is so badass
When a third-grader is obsessed with the NFL draft, what do you do?
90% of teachers would suggest research, trifold boards, a report, and a presentation about what she learned.
10% of teachers would email the Arizona Cardinals and say, “We have a third grader who’s worked on an analysis of the upcoming draft. Can she present it to your team and intern for a day on your stats team?”
Those 10% are difficult to find.
But when you empower them to launch their own school, they can change the world.

A simple distillation of what Primer’s all about: turning teachers into entrepreneurs.
It turns out that great teachers make great entrepreneurs, and we’re here to make that happen.
How do we feel about testing?
We never “teach to the test” — prioritizing test scores over real learning is a losing strategy.
But we also believe in accountability – academic progress matters.
Our students use technology to individualize their learning — moving at their own pace.
But they also complete the NWEA Measure of Academic Progress (MAP) test 3x / year.
This gives us nationally normed data to cross-check with our internal data, and parents + students get full transparency into all the results.
Primer is a place where kids work on projects they’re *actually* interested in.
Which means they find out what they’re actually interested in.
It’s what we wish we had the courage and resources to do as adults — and they’re starting now.
They’re going to be way ahead of us when they grow up.

Caught up with a first-year Primer Leader this morning. A favorite, among many gems:
"I've never seen a school where I tell my kids to pack up and they ask if they can stay longer."
People love to say that Primer is innovative, but in a lot of ways we’re not.
A lot of our model is simply how children learned for thousands of years.
Individualized instruction and a tight-knit community. It works.
