The next key ingredient in scaling free learning is to disseminate appropriate social learning norms, which in principle may be replicated at zero cost. I launched my Socratic Michael Strong YouTube channel to share the norms of intellectual dialogue that I’ve found effective at developing children’s minds for free. Alana's journey shows what’s possible. Her father began asking me about educating her when she was three. I began recording my conversations with her when she was four (you can find hundreds of these on YouTube). She turns thirteen next month and is: ✔️ Near completing Harvard’s CS50 ✔️ Scored 680 on the SAT verbal (top 1%) ✔️ Having fun, casual conversations on Book I of The Odyssey The Socratic Parenting course at The Socratic Experience is now finishing up its third cohort. Parents currently pay for it, but the ultimate goal is to open-source all of our content. The pattern replicates itself: – Alana is engaged in Socratic mentoring with a younger student. – Our team actively hosts or participates in seminars with people around the world. – Parents from our 6-week course keep in touch with each other’s parenting journeys. What might the next generation of young people be capable of if they grew up surrounded by questions instead of answers?
