Both. I do classroom teaching as well as SAT / ACT verbal tutoring.

Okay, thanks for the extended response. I suppose I would have to look at more questions, but I'm really surprised by what you chose to include on the front page, where you'd presumably want to highlight your best work. That passage strikes me as very obviously AI generated.

So, professional educator here, with fifteen years of high school teaching experience. If the sample passages and questions on the front page accurately reflect what's inside this, I would not let my kids go anywhere near it.

You've chosen to use the most generic AI-generated prose, when you could have licensed or hired writers to craft thoughtful, rich passages. I doubt you've consulted any serious standardized test item writers in the construction of what is essentially a standardized test item-based curriculum. This is the pedagogical equivalent of a Lunchable--mass produced, wrapped in plastic, and basically nutrition-free.

Interesting. Building something similar myself. Very interesting to see what people are cooking up for language learning using the latest tools.

I first read about this in The Emptiness of Japanese Affluence by Gavin McCormick. Really good read.

Frankly, I think if you're going to do something like this you're going to need to use well constructed critical reasoning items from graduate level exams like the GRE and LSAT.

I find the "unverified download" thing in Chrome so annoying, too. Remember when computers used to treat us like adults? I miss those days.

I love it

Source? I've seen studies that suggest the opposite.

Really wish someone would do this for Alpha Centauri, my favorite game of all time

I like the concept, but it doesn't work for me. I just see a red circle with a line through it when I hover over the text boxes.

I like the concept, but I'm not going to be reading Simple English Wikipedia.

It seems that you're not very familiar with what actually happened. The phrase "It's okay to be white" had become associated with white supremacists, And black people's responses to the pole had nothing to do with their opinions of white people as a whole. You, as well as Scott Adams, decided to misinterpret it. Scott Adams took things a step further and decided that he wanted nothing to do with black people on the simple basis of this poll, which is absolutely wild.

This is genius! I love it.
