Episode notes
Systemic interventions to improve educational outcomes have consistently failed over the decades, despite various attempts such as pedagogy changes, implementation of technology like laptops in classrooms, and other reforms. The null hypothesis prevails, indicating that these interventions do not lead to significant changes. Even initiatives supported by organizations like the Gates Foundation have not shown substantial improvements. However, one exception that consistently produces exceptional results, moving students from the 50th percentile to the 99th percentile, is one-on-one tutoring. This personalized approach has been proven to be highly effective, especially in cases like working with autistic children.
