No one makes me feel luckier than Joyce Chisalei. Lucky to know her because Joyce Chisalei is a miracle. I met her nine years ago in Malawi when she had been sent home from high school because her family could not afford to pay the school's fees.Free public education in Malawi extends only through elementary school. High school is not free. And I got the chance to tell Joyce that she could go back to school because we were going to pay her school fees. >> We're going to make sure you have school fees to go ...

Sixth grade. The teacher asked the question. It was something related to geography.I clearly knew the answer as I had read the reading the night before and the teacher mentioned it in the class as well. So I raised my hand to answer the question. None of my classmates raised a hand.Instead, they started to laugh. At that moment, I was too concentrated on giving the right answer that I didn't even realized why they laughed. So, apparently, they had that internal belief that if the reading was a longer one, i ...
¿Qué llevas en la maleta? | Gabriela Mesa Molina | TEDxUISRAEL
TEDx Talks· 2025-12-10 15:54
Tenía 16 años cuando emigré de mi país y antes de irme mi mamá me dijo algo sumamente valioso. Tráete en tus maletas tus útiles escolares. Yo, como toda niña disciplinada que siempre fui, le hice caso. Guardé mis maletas, mis lápices, mis cuadernos, mis libros. Con el tiempo entendí que esta frase no era solo una instrucción, era una lección de vida. No me estaba diciendo qué empacar, me estaba diciendo quién ser. Porque cuando uno emigra no solo cambia de país, cambias de amistades, de rutina, de cultura, ...

RT Mario Nawfal (@MarioNawfal)🚨 🇺🇸 OPINION: THE TRUTH ABOUT SLAVERY ISN’T BEING TAUGHT, AND THAT’S THE POINTAsk any student in a modern American classroom about slavery, and you’ll likely hear a version of history that starts with the 1500s and ends with blaming all white people.But what they deliberately won’t learn, is that slavery long predates the transatlantic slave trade, spanned every continent, and affected every race.Millions of Europeans were enslaved by the Ottoman Empire.Arab and African kingdom ...

Early Childhood Development & Learning - The first 5 years of life significantly impact the subsequent 80 years, highlighting the importance of early experiences [8] - By age 2, 75% of a baby's brain is already built, and by age 6, it reaches 90%, emphasizing the critical period for brain development [12] - A baby's brain builds 1 million connections every second, deciding which connections to strengthen and which to let go [2][9] - Early success creates a "circle of excellence," leading to more confidence, curiosity, practice, and ultimately, excellence [23][24] - Delaying a child's natural instinct to learn can create pressure later on, suggesting that early learning should be encouraged [19] Evolutionary Perspective - Humans are born "unfinished" with brains designed to complete themselves after birth through experience, making them adaptable [16][17] - For 200,000 years, children learned through sensory experiences like watching adults farm, cook, and build [17][27] - Today's children still crave the same sensory experiences (touch, love, emotion, voices, connection, and stimulation) despite growing up in a digital world [18] Societal Implications - The real frontier of innovation isn't artificial intelligence (AI) but human intelligence, particularly the minds of babies [2] - The next great revolution will come from children and nurturing curious minds, not just from algorithms and machines [31] - The industry should focus on creating wiser humans rather than just smarter machines [31]
