It’s been a shame to see so many kids held back because of antiquated systems and traditions. Rock the boat and do what’s best for the kids.

I am inspired by your initiative. The US does not do well on the PISA score.

I am optimistic that more people will adopt this approach and that it will improve even more in the future so that society is filled with knowledgeable and wise people.

A few questions: how much time do children in your schools have for free, unmediated play during the day? Or are they attached to screens the whole time? And could you provide a reading list of novels your children read and study?

Lee, you're biased negative and your question is answered just visiting the Alpha School website. They leverage cognative hacks to achieve peak state in 4x25min intervals resulting in a 2-4x learning speed(high focus in these two hours) from AI 1-on-1 adaptive tutor. Then the rest of the day is spent in group coordination activites, building life skills (like choosing running an AirBnB as a team) and other high performance child self selected initatives.

Seems like kids are being trained like robots.
