Alpha School, a pricey private school with campuses nationwide, uses artificial intelligence to instruct students. AI schools have been praised by the Trump administration, but researchers say there's limited evidence the model works.
Bean bag chairs, soundproof booths and portable whiteboards make Alpha Schools look more like a tech startup than a school. But its biggest break from tradition is not the design: It’s an education model that uses artificial intelligence to teach core subjects while adults in the room serve as “guides,” not teachers.
This feels like it’s trying to skirt unions/regulations. The teachers aren’t actually teachers, they’re “guides”, which is a completely different thing entirely.
More importantly, the kids are taught how Google, Palantir, Meta, and Microsoft want them to be taught.
One day people will look back on your comment and be impressed at how you predicted the future four great nations of the world.

I hadn’t thought of that, it always comes down to money. They’ll have the worst part of teaching, security and misbehaving “guiding.”
