That on top of all this you are taking the time to stop and articulate the insights, your own learning about teaching, wins and the struggles is so generous and impressive Latham. I am not teaching my child this way, but I have an inner child that is subject to many of these challenges and your reminders about flow state and how it can be supported was very useful to me. Thank you.
I was also very impressed when I initially read Henrik Karlsson’s and Erik Hoel’s articles about aristocratic tutoring. I started my Substack https://mindbicycles.substack.com/ as a way to explore the same topics. I also find the counterarguments by Tomas Pueyo:
This is full of wisdom. I can already tell this one will fuel my day (and week) of writing. “It’s easier to get into flow when we’ve been closer to flow recently.”

https://unchartedterritories.tomaspueyo.com/p/where-geniuses-hide-today and Steve Hsu: https://youtu.be/qqsdD4pxdWw?t=1568 very compelling: there’s no stagnation, we are still making plenty of geniuses but there’s no more individual genius; they are part of research teams and companies and they mostly come from prestigious schools and universities. Maybe there’s some truth in both sides of the argument.
I hadn't heard of these counterarguments before. Thank you for sharing. I'm going to take a look this week and see what I think.

Thank you Julie. I'm glad you found it useful. It was pretty eye-opening to put the pieces together.
