Alpha School Website Someone I worked with like 14 years ago posted this on Facebook claiming "they use AI tools for two hours then the remaining time is spent interactively learning. They learn about credit cards, stock markets, YouTube etc." and that they're "crushing test scores." I looked through the website and watched their video, and man, this is bleak and probably only the beginning of this type of crap. It's impossible to tell how much of the video is real, but it looks like they spend most of their time getting addicted to tablets and becoming YouTubers. I'm also like 80-90% sure that there's some kind of nefarious motive behind this place, either a private equity firm trying to yet agin monetize education and/or this place is funded by OpenAI or something. There's too many funny things here to quote. "At Alpha School, teachers shift from traditional roles like grading and writing lesson plans, to supporting students’ emotional and motivational needs and teaching life skills." HAVE YOU BEEN IN A PUBLIC ELEMENTARY CLASSROOM? Every single teacher does this already!!! submitted by /u/EyeDowntown360 [link] [comments]
