I finally started a substack. Decades in the making. Come play. Stephpf.substack.com/about

My high school Spanish teacher just added me on LinkedIn. The future is a weird place.

My therapist ended our session with "this was really fun for me today" and I do not know what that means, but... I'm glad?

Over the last 8 years I've done a lot of activities I cherish with my niece, but curling up together quietly reading books to ourselves is a whole new level of magic.

Agency is precious because the lucidities that purposeful work and responsibility bring are the real education. The secret of the world is that it is a very malleable place, we must be sure that people learn this, and never forget the order: Learning is the consequence of doing.

TFW you've finally convinced everyone it's okay for you to have an office dog and then THIS happens... 😭

In the last 24 hours I've been on "customer service" calls/chats with @TMobile, @GetSpectrum, @Assurant x3, @Budget x2, & some home rental companies. You know the only people that were helpful AND kind today? @USPS & the 2nd person at EZ-pass. C'mon corporate America.

📚 We're adding some of our favorite Education books to the Primer office bookshelf. What are we missing?

Jimmy surprises @QuintaBrunson with the 6th grade teacher she named #AbbottElementary after! 😭💙

Very very excited about this. #edutwitter #edchat

We asked kids on Primer what advice they have for adults—here's a sneak peek of their responses❣️

Researching physical learning environments & found it interesting that lighting ☀️ has the highest correlation with overall student progress. "The highest quantity of natural and electrical light, but without direct sunlight, was found to be optimum."

The Primer kids are obsessed with the cuteness of axolotls today so we decided to create a quick Q&A style class on the creatures. Worked on it tonight and WOW axolotls are so cool!! Can't wait to share this one with our community (and have the team demo it over lunch.)

Oh hi! Guess what I've been up to for the last 6 months?? ❤

Instead of taxing the rich, @POTUS & Congress went after average Americans trying to hustle including: -Airbnb hosts making just $600/year (previously a $20,000 threshold). -People who sell things over Venmo/Paypal/Etsy (mostly makers & artists) Really? That's the problem?

Anyone who wants one should get a free education. But if we decide to make college free or cancel student debt as a blanket solution, many schools will just raise tuition, build bigger stadiums, and we will pay for it. Public college tuition should be regulated. But. Lobbyists.
