>> I'm curious to know what 'stuff' he's referring to. And what about it makes it such that kids need it but adults don't. And if that's true, are we SURE kids need it?
OP here. My understanding is that it's the stuff kids are tested on in school to pass (like standardized tests), but not necessarily needed for an adult to meet their learning goals.
Like, if your kid was using it they'd take take the grade level courses, but if you wanted to work up to Math for Machine Learning like I am you'd take the Foundation courses, which are streamlined.
One cool thing I like that I shared a screenshot of in the post is the knowledge graph that shows all the topics and how they are connected to make all of the lessons feel more purposeful. And if you get stuck somewhere there's an easy way to brush up on past lessons (dependencies).
