DSA learners quit due to lack of tailored guidance, not resources or laziness

Here's what makes edtech actually work in classrooms: founders who've taught in one. Charter School Growth Fund just published a piece on exactly that, and we're proud Socrait was part of the conversation. The best tools for teachers aren't built by people who studied teachers. They're built by people who *were*  teachers. Teachers who stayed up late grading papers, then taught 8 periods and drove home wondering if they did enough today. That's who built Socrait. And that's why it works. https://lnkd.in/g2H4CJ9z 👉 Learn more at Socrait.com #socrait #edtech #educationtech #teacherhelp #principals #teacher #k12

Day 42 of building MB Coding Classes 🚀 Some days are about growth. Some days are about survival. Today felt like both. There are moments when things don’t go as planned— students don’t convert, people don’t understand your vision, and the effort feels heavier than the results. But I’m starting to understand something: 👉 Discipline > Motivation 👉 Consistency > Mood 👉 Vision > Validation Not everyone will see what you’re building. Not everyone will stay. And that’s okay. Because this journey was never about proving others wrong— it’s about proving myself right. Still learning. Still building. Still showing up. No Sundays. No excuses. Only progress. 🔥 #Day42 #StartupJourney #MBCodingClasses #Consistency #Entrepreneurship

Day 34 of building MB Coding Classes 🚀 Today was all about growth beyond just teaching. From managing collaborations with institutes to strengthening our own brand, I’m learning that building something meaningful requires both vision and patience. It’s not just about coding anymore — it’s about leadership, consistency, and creating impact. Some days are smooth, some are challenging… but every single day is progress. The goal remains the same: to build a platform that truly empowers students with real skills. Let’s keep going. 💪 #Day34 #BuildingInPublic #Entrepreneurship #TeachingJourney #CodingClasses #Consistency #GrowthMindset

Saw via Ian Connell at Charter School Growth Fund. Three EdTech founders. All former teachers. All building tools they wish had existed when they were standing at the front of a room. Socrait.Hello World. MagicSchool AI. What these products have in common isn't the tech. It's that the people who built them already knew the problem before they opened a laptop. They knew which friction points were merely annoying and which ones were quietly breaking people. You can't workshop your way into that knowledge. You have to have lived it. There's a reason the best classroom tools feel like they were built by someone who understood what it's like to have 28 kids, five preps, and forty minutes to eat lunch and also somehow prep for the next day. Because they were. https://lnkd.in/dEyQVa5K

Most students don’t struggle because they’re not capable. They struggle because the system overwhelms them. A full-year syllabus often feels like a marathon with no guidance. That’s where Edzy comes in. Instead of dumping chapters, we break learning into the following: → small daily steps → guided explanations → consistent progress tracking The goal isn’t just to complete the syllabus. It’s to actually understand it. We’re building the future of learning for CBSE students.

In 2019 I wrote an essay on why EdTech fails. Unfortunately, fast forward to 2026 and little has changed - as the downfall of #khanacademy Khanmigo shows. Sal Khan focused on the wrong problems, and used the wrong pedagogy. This is what #edtech nearly always does, and why it nearly always fails. https://lnkd.in/epZqf3T

Tinkering is not play. It's the first act of building. We underestimate children who take things apart. The kid who dismantles a torch to see how it works isn't being destructive. They're asking a systems question: how does this work, and can I make it work differently? That instinct curiosity with hands is the seed of every product that's ever been built. At YoungMinds.app, the first phase of everything we do is Tinkering. Not because it's fun (though it is). But because it builds the one habit schools rarely teach: The habit of making before knowing. You don't need a complete understanding of electricity to build a circuit. You need the willingness to try, fail, and try again. That's what our youngest students some as young as 8 are learning right now. They're not studying entrepreneurship. They're already doing it. T is for Tinkering. The first step of our TIE framework.
