Thanks for building the MIST Academy community! I interview all new students nowadays, and it definitely helps. I am also running Alabama ARML practices. Unfortunately I don't have as big a reach as you did in the Birmingham area, but I hope my online students from around the states are able to gain what I gained from attending classes at MIST. Most of my students are from outside AL now. Hopefully I am continuing your legacy of teaching a bit in my own way.

Congratulations on seeking out new methods in education and for capturing your wisdom for posterity. And of course many thanks.

It’s clear the ancient techniques are serving society and civilization poorly. The industrialization of education (and medicine) have been massive errors (or, more charitably, necessary phases of imperfection in the evolution of both). A more personal approach to both is sorely needed. No doubt it takes huge amounts of energy and enthusiasm.

I would be interested in hearing about any of your students who decided to become teachers themselves using your methods. Did you have more advanced students teaching the less in your schools?
