Every child is a genius. These are their stories.

The Shark Tank Massacre
Last year, thirteen-year-olds pitched their business ideas to parent-entrepreneurs.
The parents destroyed them.
Six weeks of work, demolished in minutes. In public.
The kids weren't ready. The judges said so. To their faces.
And every parent in the audience was grateful.

Not for everyone
That's not a bug. It's a feature.
Flourish isn't trying to be better at what schools do. We're doing something else entirely.
If you need the neighbours to understand your choices, we're not for you.
If you believe what worked in 1995 works today. If you've outsourced parenting to an institution. If you're teaching your kid to grab the biggest slice instead of baking a bigger pie.
Keep looking.

The birthday problem
We sort kids by their manufacturing date.
Born in 2015? Room V-A
Born in 2016? Room IV-B.
As if learning cares about your birthday.

The assembly line worked perfectly
For factories.
Same input. Same process. Same output. Quality control at every stage.
Schools copied this model. It worked perfectly too.
For creating factory workers.
