some miscellanious headcanons for the dash today as a treat... maybe some of them won't be angsty.

irelia was primarily homeschooled. it is known in her lore that she received education for silk dancing at the placidium under zinneia's tutelage, but xan lito, her father, encouraged her love for reading both fictional and historical works. standard literacy and numeracy skills are taught to most ionian children, but irelia was raised at a higher standard.

in my canon, blade dancing ( kenbu, 剣舞: sword dance ) as a tool for war was a lost ionian technique that has been revived by irelia as well as ionia's school of silk dancing. the graceful and powerful dances of ionia's history were a tool to defend her people the whole time. as for the forty - two forms irelia mentioned, they have been developed over time by herself and other accomplished dancers during and after the first war. many are extrapolated from old texts, but all have been tested in combat.

incorporating irelia's tie in with life and death from her old lore, irelia did come very close to death in her battle against admiral duqal: the man responsible for the massacre of her family & village. that experience contributed heavily to her losing most of her brash attitude, her brush with death combined with her actually acknowledging just how many people are counting on her is what ultimately tempered irelia's self sacrificial streak.

irelia has a tattoo of the xan family crest on her spine. another way she remembers her family is by a custom crafted necklace. the piece is eight coloured glass beads with a thin gold chain threaded through them. after her relationship with liana, she would likely get a flower & sword tattoo on her arm.

aside from her signature flying blades, irelia is an accomplished sword fighter. she can also use the bow and arrow, albeit at a lower standard than she would prefer. the captain of the guard had undergone a lot of strength training in order to feel comfortable swinging a more traditional sword around. in kenbu, strength isn't strictly unnecessary but it is secondary to flexibility, endurance, and stamina.

Let's Talk About Our Feelings

There are lots of resources out there for understanding what dyscalculia is - books, YouTube videos, Powerpoint slideshows, podcasts. There are lots of math toys and tools and worksheets to offer varying ways to approaching numeracy, too.

What's talked about less is how very emotional the process of confronting a lifelong learning disability is.

A Gallery of Big Feelings I Have Had to Feel Since Deciding, Approximately Two Weeks Ago, That I Wanted to Do Something About My Innumeracy Problem:

Shame

I thought I was kicking shame to the curb by deciding to do something different. Nah. It's still really hard to admit I suck at math.

Basic addition and subtraction (the subject of my recent explorations) feel like something I should have learned to do in elementary school. You know, when the other 29 kids in my class learned it. When all my friends learned it. When the cashier who bantered with me about green onions this morning learned it.

I started this Tumblr because it sucked so much to admit how ashamed I am that I can't math, I figured I'd just tell the entire planet at once and get it over with. Now you know.

[leave your derisive gifs in this slot.]

2. Anger

This Tumblr is called "Maths Screaming" because screaming was pretty much the first and only thing I did for about three days once I started reading about dyscalculia interventions. I screamed in my heart. I screamed in my head. I screamed outside my head, too. I stomped around the high school track and screamed some more. I came home and screamed at a math textbook PDF. I paused YouTube videos to scream. There was a lot of screaming.

I screamed because I was angry.

Confronting anything painful about our pasts often means remembering things we worked hard to forget. Things that hurt to remember. Sometimes, it means reliving some of the worst moments of our lives - especially if what was happened was actually traumatic.

Realizing that not being allowed to use a multiplication table in third grade (no, really!) wasn't traumatic, but it did upset me. Math could have been so much easier than it was at every stage of my education - but I and all my classmates were deprived of those tools and opportunities.

Realizing that leads to

3. Grief

I was widowed in my 30s, so I'd like to believe I'm good at grief. I spent the first three years thinking grief was some kind of game I could win or trophy I could acquire.

"That there is my ability to handle loss. I won it when I was 39."

...Yeah, it doesn't work that way. All loss occasions grief. Each loss is unique, and therefore so is the grief it occasions. And yes, I grieved when I realized just how much I had missed by both struggling with numbers and never receiving support with that struggle.

I don't just mean losses like "I didn't go to medical school" or "I don't understand how the stock market works" (though maybe I am missing out there too). I mean losses like "I could have spent my entire childhood not ashamed and self-loathing for not understanding numbers." And "I could have told my high school boyfriend to jump off a cliff when he laughed at me for still using my fingers, instead of internalizing that and hating myself for it."

Closely related to grief is

4. Love

I gotta tell ya, fam: Deciding that you're going to try to change something that has defined your life for the worse is a radical act of love.

I am doing so much reparenting and re-teaching in this process. I have to be the adult in the room who provides the support and the kid who didn't get support the first time. It takes a lot of love and a lot of patience.

I am extraordinarily grateful that I have (a) the capacity, (b) the skills, and (c) the opportunity to show myself that love. (FYI, THERAPY WORKS.) And at the same time, I grieve here too. Because having to love myself through this process shows me just how much love and care was lacking in my childhood. I can now see just where no one showed up enough to see that I was struggling or to do anything about it.

That's tough to face, and it takes even more love and care to get through it. I understand how easy it would be to just...not bother.

As hard as it is, though, I recommend it. I really do.

Feel the feels. Then do the maths.

Transforming Lives: The Skill Guru Foundation Journey To Empower Youth

In a world where the divide between privilege and poverty continues to widen, the importance of education and skill development cannot be overstated. The Skill Guru Foundation stands at the forefront of this battle, bridging the gap between opportunity and underprivileged communities. With a heart full of compassion and a mission grounded in action, The Skill Guru Foundation is committed to transforming lives through education and skill development.

The Genesis of The Skill Guru Foundation

The Skill Guru Foundation was born out of a deep-seated belief that every child, regardless of their socio-economic background, deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed. Our journey began with a simple yet powerful vision: to create an online platform where corporate employees, retired individuals, and skilled volunteers could connect with underprivileged children and provide them with the guidance and mentorship they need to thrive.

This vision has grown into a thriving community of mentors and students, each committed to the shared goal of education for all. Through our programs, we have seen firsthand the transformative power of knowledge and skills in breaking the cycle of poverty.

Empowering Through Education

At the heart of our mission is the belief that education is the most powerful tool for empowerment. The Skill Guru Foundation provides a unique platform where skilled professionals can share their knowledge with those who need it most. Whether it’s through one-on-one calls, messaging, or virtual classrooms, our volunteers are making a real difference in the lives of the children they mentor.

Our programs focus on a wide range of skills, from basic literacy and numeracy to more advanced subjects like digital marketing, video editing, and software testing. We believe in equipping our students with the tools they need to succeed in a rapidly changing world. By providing them with relevant skills, we are not just preparing them for the future; we are helping them build it.

A Holistic Approach to Skill Development

The Skill Guru Foundation is more than just an educational platform. We take a holistic approach to skill development, recognizing that true empowerment comes from nurturing the whole person. Our programs are designed to build confidence, foster creativity, and encourage critical thinking.

Companies and their employees play a crucial role in our programs, offering not only financial support but also the time and expertise of their staff. These partnerships allow us to expand our reach and impact, ensuring that more children can benefit from our programs.

Corporate employees who volunteer with The Skill Guru Foundation find it to be a rewarding experience that enriches both their personal and professional lives. By sharing their knowledge and skills, they are giving back to the community in a meaningful way and helping to create a brighter future for the next generation.

The true measure of our success lies in the stories of the children we serve. Each one represents a life changed, a future made brighter by the opportunities we provide. From the young girl who, through our digital marketing program, discovered a passion for technology, to the boy who, with the help of our mentors, gained the confidence to pursue higher education—these are the stories that inspire us to continue our work.

One of our most heartwarming success stories is that of a young boy named Ravi. Ravi came from a family where education was not a priority, and he struggled to keep up in school. Through our program, Ravi was paired with a mentor who recognized his potential and provided him with the support he needed. Today, Ravi is excelling in his studies and dreams of becoming a software engineer. His story is a testament to the power of mentorship and the difference that one person can make in a child’s life.

Through a combination of education, skill-building, and community involvement, youth engagement programs in Yemen supported by Yemen charity initiatives and donations are paving the way for a brighter future, one empowered young person at a time.

Education as a Catalyst for Change:

Education is a powerful tool for empowerment, providing young people with the knowledge, skills, and opportunities they need to succeed in life. In Yemen, where access to quality education is often limited by conflict and instability, youth engagement programs play a crucial role in expanding educational opportunities and promoting lifelong learning. From literacy and numeracy programs to vocational training and higher education scholarships, these initiatives equip Yemeni youth with the tools they need to build a better future for themselves and their communities.

Skill-Building for Sustainable Livelihoods:

In addition to formal education, skill-building programs are essential for equipping young people with the practical skills and competencies needed to secure gainful employment and contribute to economic development. In Yemen, where youth unemployment rates are among the highest in the world, skill-building initiatives are critical for addressing the root causes of poverty and fostering sustainable livelihoods. Through vocational training, entrepreneurship workshops, and job placement services, youth engagement programs empower Yemeni youth to pursue meaningful career paths and achieve financial independence.

These are good points about generative AI, but there are some misconceptions in the above post that I want to correct.

Some of the points made above are just-so stories that sound good but aren't actually true.

1 - Oral traditions usually didn't memorize information word for word with high accuracy.

Memory recorded in oral tradition can drift over time as the information is retold, especially since not all oral tradition is focused on preserving literal accuracy. People would memorize concepts, associate ideas with places, and build things like poetic devices to aid in accurately conveying the same information, rather than focusing on word for word accuracy.

In those cases where people were trying to achieve high word for word accuracy, they had to build the same kinds of processes and procedures we build today to protect the integrity of data.

The human mind is not a good tool for recording and recalling data accurately. Cultures that relied on oral tradition just had more regular practice at memorizing things than we do, but they still faced the same challenges recording things accurately.

To put that in other terms, oral tradition wasn't usually like the end of Fahrenheit 451.

Just like photographic memory, the popular conception of what memorization in an oral tradition is often exaggerated.

(If anyone isn't aware, photographic memory like you see in film and TV is a myth, just like super-speed reading or people who only need an hour of sleep a day. The few rare individuals with superior autobiographical memory are usually observed as being meticulous about keeping journals of their lives that they review regularly.)

2 - Calculators didn't produce a generation of adults that couldn't do basic math.

To put that differently, slide rules didn't produce a generation of adults who were good at math.

The skills you need to operate a calcuator are the same that you need to operate a slide rule. It's just a different form of the same technology, a counting device, using a different interface, another example being the abacus.

What really differs between the devices is what they're good for. Calculators are the best and most extensible all around tool, but slide rules and the abacus can both perform basic math operations very quickly. None of them hinder the development of your math skills.

The problem is actually one of education.

Not only is it difficult to teach basic math skills, the quality of educational system has a significant impact on students trying to develop new skills.

As an example, US numeracy isn't great. About 30% of the adult population in the US doesn't have the ability to calculate using whole numbers and percentages. It's not actually that unusual to find an adult that could struggle to make change without an aid.

To look at a case where our tools really do change how and what we learn, consider graphing calculators. After they were introduced, students didn't have to focus as much time learning how to plot graphs by hand. Instead, they started developing the skills to accurately use a graphing calculator to visualize an equation.

3 - Point of sales systems don't automatically dispense change.

This one is a small nitpick, but point of sales systems haven't eliminated the need for cashiers to understand basic math.

You can find systems that dispense change automatically in fully automated checkout systems, but cashiers are still trained to work with bills, coins, cards, and checks the same way they were being trained to do so 50 years ago.

We haven't moved into a time where cashiers don't need basic math skills and the automated tools that have been around forever actually predate the modern calculator. Automatic cashiers, those machines that dispense coin change in the checkout line? They were invented in the 1890s.

-

Everything else though? Spot on.

You cannot trust generative AI to give you accurate results. Do not try to use it to replace thought.

generative AI literally makes me feel like a boomer. people start talking about how it can be good to help you brainstorm ideas and i’m like oh you’re letting a computer do the hard work and thinking for you???

From thematic learning to international-style classrooms, these schools prepare students for both Indian and global opportunities.

4. CBSE School in Boisar: Balancing Tradition with Innovation

For families in and around Boisar, opting for a CBSE School in Boisar ensures continuity in curriculum while enjoying access to modern educational resources. These schools offer a competitive edge, blending traditional values with digital tools, activity-based learning, and well-trained faculty.

5. Nursery School in Boisar: Building Confidence from Day One

A child’s first step into school life should be joyful and secure. A quality Nursery School in Boisar focuses on language skills, social development, and early numeracy — all in a play-based, safe setting. Sanskruti Vidya Sankul’s nursery programs are loved by parents for their caring staff and engaging environment.

Why Sanskruti Vidya Sankul Stands Out

Whether you’re searching for a Primary School in Palghar or an International School in Boisar, Sanskruti Vidya Sankul checks all the boxes:

CBSE-affiliated academic programs

Modern classrooms and digital learning tools

Emphasis on cultural, creative, and leadership activities

Safe campus and experienced educators

English-medium instruction from pre-primary onwards

Location Advantage

Located in a well-connected area, the school attracts students from across Palghar, Boisar, and nearby regions — making it a top choice for working parents who value both convenience and quality.

Final Thought

Education is more than just marks — it’s about nurturing skills, values, and confidence. If you’re looking for the Best CBSE School in Palghar, a reliable Nursery School in Boisar, or a future-ready International School in Boisar, Sanskruti Vidya Sankul is a name you can trust.

Importance of Quality Education for Primary's Education

According to UNICEF’s reports about South Asia, only one in three children who reach fourth grade can read basic texts. This directly translates to millions of kids who have entered the primary education system but have not gained the basic skills of numeracy and literacy due to the lack of quality education.

This statistic is a powerful fact that highlights what happens when the quality of education isn’t prioritised. Its impact? The kids are illiterate, making it difficult to function in the ever-changing world. It also makes them vulnerable to various ill treatments like child labour, abuse, and violence. The problem becomes even more noticeable in a gender-based lens, where girls are clearly disadvantaged compared to their male peers due to societal norms.

It doesn’t end here. What looks like a good education system can often focus solely on rote learning methods, discrimination, and corporal punishment. Hence, the quality of education must be gauged on more than just data that can be manipulated by fear and unhealthy learning methods.   

The Impact of Quality Education & its Impact on Primary Education

Primary education is a founding layer of various outcomes. 

1. Stronger Learning Base: When key subjects like Maths, Science, and Languages are taught through engaging methods, children retain information for longer, learn to apply it in multiple ways, and experience a boost of interest in learning as their cognitive skills like curiosity, communication, and problem-solving skills are exposed to suitable material. 

2. Inclusive Learning Experience: A robust and quality education approach will accommodate various deviations from a standard, easy-to-manage kid. It will empower visual learners, audio learners, and those needing a more hands-on style to understand the subject matter. 

3. Betterment in Living Standards: When children are provided with quality education, they are equipped with resources that can help them fight their tumultuous conditions and break the cycles of negativity. The education system has the power to enhance the emotional and social development of a region in the long run by improving learning outcomes. 

How We Are Contributing to the Mission 

We understood the importance of quality education and decided to address it at the grassroots level by making our teach-easy pedagogy a cost-effective, easy-to-understand, and implemented tool. It is useful even in the remotest section. It is made with games, audio-visual mediums, voice boxes, and smart devices that can run without active cellular data at less than $1 per child per year. 

The Transformation We Empowered 

With 1.69 crore children participating in Sampark Foundation’s Smart Classroom Program, we had more than just an academic impact (a substantial 32 per cent rise). The children looked forward to learning, with one describing it as his favourite part of the day. Another professed confidence in asking questions, finally! This change opened the doors for higher education possibilities for lakhs of children and generations to come.
