Why are we wasting teenagers' time just studying for tests?
They'd be much better served doing real-life things out in the real world.
A list of teens building cool things as proof πŸ‘‡
1. @claudiastellner - a 14-year-old writer building an online brand and business
2. @AustinScholar - a 16-year-old writing a paid Substack newsletter on parenting advice, from the teen's perspective
3. @Jayyanginspires - a teenager deconstructing marketing, writing, and growth
4. @skills4kids_ - an 18-year-old (who struggled through 5 types of schools before finding one where she thrived) writing about helping kids learn and grow
5. @thecolesummers - a 14-year-old who owned his own ranch, wrote an autobiography, and managed multiple businesses
6. @sulaiman_botha - a 17-year-old working as a consultant with service-based businesses
7. @calixo888 - a college freshman who already has experience at multiple tech startups and works at a VC firm
8. @LearningToan - a 17-year-old who interviews edtech founders 5x/week
If you know a teen (or are one!) who wants to harness their potential, you should also check out:

-@1517fund
-@thielfellowship
So many resources out there to help ambitious teens thrive.
What other young people would you add to this list?
