AI INSTEAD OF TEACHERS
One Austin woman believes traditional schooling is outdated now.
That's why she created a new learning method with no teachers, and students learn academics with an AI tutor on a series of apps for just two hours a day.
"Our students are learning twice as fast as students in a traditional classroom, but they are doing it in only 2 hours a day," said MacKenzie Price, co-founder of the Alpha School in downtown Austin.
Here’s how the 2-Hour Learning program works:
Students have guides covering the core subjects instead of teachers.
As for the rest of the school day, it's spent developing life skills like public speaking, leadership and teamwork through workshops.
"Life skills workshops can look different depending on which school they go to, we have a school that’s all about sports, and a school where kids are doing robotics and coding and writing books," said Price.
The idea started when Price was frustrated with the educational system. Her daughter came home from school and said it was boring.
Price says despite only learning academics two hours a day, Alpha School still outperformed peers in traditional school.
