There are more than 10x the students starting Lambda School today as 18 months ago.

NPS is higher across the board, student skill is higher across the board, and it goes off without a hitch.

Hats off to the Lambda growth, admissions and student success teams.
NPS schoolwide for Lambda School is in the high 60s. We're working on getting it to the mid/high 70s right now.

A lot of talk about Lambda School today, and most of it I'll ignore.

One I'm going to respond to - that Lambda School is "creaming" - removing the best students from other schools and locking them into ISAs.

This is a tweetstorm full of student stories, so buckle up.
J is a single father, high school dropout with two kids (1.6 GPA), had been working in a warehouse for four years. We noticed in our intro courses he was doing well at programming, and decided to invest.

He attended Lambda, now makes software for warehouses, making $80k+/yr
S had to drop out of school when she couldn't afford the payments on her archaeology degree. She was living in a car when she applied to Lambda School.

She was also hired at an $80k rate.

Have always been curious about this.

DM me one thing that you would never dare tweet but believe to be true, and I’ll reply to this thread with the messages but without identifying who they’re from (and I promise to always keep it a secret)
First I need to make it crystal clear that I do not endorse any of these opinions in any way whatsoever
“Not everyone should be parents. Better to have (mental) test of some sort to determine if one is suitable to be parents.”

New experiment from Lambda School, coming 2019!

* Housing in downtown Salt Lake City for 1 yr

* $500/month food/living stipend for 1 yr

* 30 week full-time Lambda School course + career coaching

Cost: $0 until hired & making $50k+, then 17% of salary for 3 yrs, capped at $40k
Will let you know when applications for this open up.

We're forever moving to the point where anyone talented and hungry can "just show up" and we can help them get the rest of the way, all at no financial risk to the student
To be clear:

Rent is covered by Lambda. On top of Lambda covering rent we also give you $500/month to spend on food etc. The instruction and coaching is provided at no upfront cost.

You pay nothing until hired. Not a penny.

Buckle up friends, this will be a long one. When you’re as short as I am, your soap box has to be tall, and if I’m going to climb all the way up here, I’m going to stay awhile.
Let’s begin with our setting. My daily duty is bus duty at dismissal. Those of you moaning, yes I know, but honestly? I requested this duty this year.
For the past four years I’ve had this duty. Yes, it often runs past my contractual 20 minutes of duty. Yes, it is high paced and has a level of urgency that even the classroom doesn’t.

I've done this.

I'm more vocal about it now because I realized a few months ago just how common it was. Someone needed to speak up and I try to do that now.
I cried each morning for a month before quitting a horribly toxic job.

My husband would tell me I could and should quit.

I stayed, I was going to win.

It took horribly spraining my ankle, taking sick time to go see if it was broken and them calling to beg me to work.
I worked remotely all afternoon and night. I hobbled into the office the next day for a meeting.

I got yelled at for taking a sick day.

I was up for over 24 hours. I got the client back up.

I turned in my notice on the following Monday.

This is a shout out and thanks to @tednaiman @Mangan150 @TroKalayjian @bigfatsurprise and others for all your good information, thoughts and experiences on nutrition.
I'm 53, active and have been eating a "healthy" low fat diet and limiting my red meat for quite some time. For the last 4 years I have been getting bloodwork done on a yearly basis to monitor my health.
Unfortunately while hardly terrible several markers have been trending in the wrong direction. Glucose, insulin, LDL cholesterol all increasing while HDL and Vitamin D have been going down. My results were starting to get worrisome.

#Today's story to #EndFamilySeparation Four months ago, Dad and 4-month-old entered at the Texas/Mexico border and requested #asylum. Dad and child were immediately separated and the baby put in ORR custody. #FamiliesBelongTogether
Dad was detained in a #Texas detention center where @RAICESTEXAS consulted. Dad accepted a deportation to be quickly reunited w/ his infant child. However, the Dad was deported & NOT his child. The now 8-month-old baby has been in ORR custody for 4 months. #EndFamilySeparation
The Mom and Dad now have once weekly Skype calls with their 8-month-old baby. That's right, folks. They Skype with an infant. #EndFamilySeparation #FamiliesBelongTogether

1. Exclusive: In emails I obtained, Miss America CEO @samhaskell, along with other board members and staff, repeatedly maligned, attacked, and slut shamed former Miss Americas.

Link To My Story: bit.ly/2BfqKUD
2. Lead writer of the Miss America telecast Lewis Friedman asks CEO @samhaskell: are we the only ones who haven't fu*ked Mallory? (Miss America @ItsMalloryHagan)

Haskell says: "It appears we are the only ones" - then he goes on to defame her.

Link: bit.ly/2BfqKUD
3. Scooplet: @dickclarkprod which produced the Miss America telecast for 3 years obtained the same emails in August. They went to the board of Miss America Organization and were told to pound sand. Dick Clark Productions severed ties immediately. bit.ly/2BfqKUD
