Public Relations Specialist

NOTE:
This is a work for stock only position now. We have a cure for education and we are looking for a PR specialist who can help us bring this to the world. This is a chance to bid for greatness and to take on a cause greater than yourself. If that fits who you are, please read the story of METY Technology's founder, Dr.

John Leddo.

I was raised by a single mom in a one-bedroom apartment in New York City. She had never been to college, so there was no reason to believe that my future would be anything special. I was told that education was a path to a better life, so I did my best in school. When I was ready for high school, I received a full scholarship to Phillips Exeter Academy, the number one private high school in America.

There, I was exposed to the nation's elite. I ran track with a boy whose grandfather was emperor of Thailand. I was friends with a boy whose father was our UN Ambassador. The valedictorian of my year ran for President in 2020 (spoiler alert: he didn't get the nomination). Though I received a tremendous education, what impressed me most about Exeter was that the students believed they were destined to be very successful.

Not because they felt they were better than everyone else, but because that was the world they came from, so they naturally assumed that would be the world the would live in. I graduated Exeter wanting to ensure that every child in the world had that same sense of empowerment: believing that they could achieve anything they set their minds to and had the education to enable them to.

That was 50 years ago.

I decided to change my focus from math and physics to educational psychology. I wound up getting a PhD from Yale and joining the workforce. My first major project was to study what made someone an expert, a project I sought because experts were the best in any field and it was natural that education should turn students into experts. The project taught me two powerful lessons.

Expertise wasn't about time on the job (not everyone who put in a lot of years was an expert); it was how experts thought and approached problem solving. Equally importantly, to a one, every expert I worked with told me that they didn't learn to become experts from their schooling but from their on the job experience. I thought this was tragic.

It was up to people to figure out on their own how to be the best. They weren't learning it at school.

Since I had learned what makes someone an expert, I next asked the question of whether I could turn it around and create a blueprint for teaching people to become experts. I needed to become an architect. An architect takes a vision of a house and turns it into a blueprint that, if followed, makes that vision a reality. What's more, the blueprint is something that doesn't require an architect to follow.

It could be handed to bricklayers, electricians, and plumber, and they could build the house. I needed a framework that didn't require a Yale PhD to implement but could be handed to everyday teachers.

I create the framework and started testing it in schools, each time achieving amazing results. The first test was at an alternative school where I taught at-risk 9th graders the scientific method. After a 25 hour program, the at-risk 9th graders were performing at a mainstream 12th grade level. Next, we had 8th graders in math showing a 50% improvement in problem solving performance compared to students taught using their school district's standard methods.

The biggest test came in New Jersey when a school district that was failing and in danger of being taken over and run by the state asked me to help them improve student performance. I taught their teachers my framework and within a couple of years, that district was top performing in the state and invite to a state conference as a model of success.

At this point, I had shown that my framework worked at scale and when turned over to others to implement.

My challenge was that education was still a bureaucracy and highly resistant to change. I wasn't scalable. I couldn't go to every school district in the world and teach my methodology. I needed a scalable solution. Serendipity smiled upon me. Fortunately, by then, the Internet had taken off and everyone was online. Equally fortunately, when I was at Yale, my thesis advisor happened to be one of the pioneers of AI, and so I learned a lot of AI along the way.

The combination of AI and the Internet would be my answer. AI would help personalize education to make each student an expert and the Internet would deliver the solution.

To gain more experience working with individual students and to learn how to sell to parents (since those are the ones who care most about a child's education), I started the tutoring company My Ed Master .

At My Ed Master , I taught students 1-1 but also continued my research, this time involving the students as co-researchers.

We did experiments to see how much expert knowledge students already have and how they respond to educational…
