Here's Esther Wojcicki speaking 🔥 for parents. (From 2019)
’80s, my daughters were known in our Tolman Drive neighborhood as the lemon girls. One day they noticed our neighbor’s lemon tree, and she nicely agreed to their plan of using it to start a business. They came up with a price , and sold their goods door-to-door. They even sold lemons back to the neighbor with the lemon tree. Once they filled up their piggy banks, they’d spend their earnings at their favorite dime store, Patterson’s on California Avenue.
Once they heard that, they couldn’t have been more helpful. For the first few weeks, you’d have thought I was asking them to solve a difficult math problem. All I wanted them to do was free-write about any topic for the first 10 minutes of the class. How hard could that be? Really hard, it turns out. Sometimes I brought up topics from the newspaper. “Look what happened yesterday,” I’d say. “What do you think about this story?” They didn’t even know what those stories were.
No wonder Elon Musk says, “I hated going to school when I was a kid. It was torture.” He hated it so much, in fact, that when it came to educating his sons, he decided to start his own school. It’s called the Ad Astra School, and—you guessed it—the focus is on self-motivated learning, problem-solving, and an entrepreneurial mind-set. There’s even a class on the ethics of artificial intelligence.
My granddaughter Emma drew some pretty incredible pictures of animals—she probably could have sold them at age 7. How did she learn to do that? Following a YouTube video. There’s also no shortage of videos on scientific experiments for kids, like the optical illusions that my grandson Leon loves.
