Alpha School, a billionaire-backed private school chain that replaces teachers with AI tutors and charges $40,000 a year in tuition, is opening campuses in Edmond and Tulsa in August. The model, which uses two hours of daily AI-driven instruction with no certified teachers, has drawn both enthusiastic families and sharp criticism from educators.
Idk how anyone who is a parent would believe sending their kid to a giant experiment would be the best thing for them. Then take into consideration this costs 40k and I can’t think of anyone who is paying that much for higher education would ever think this is the best option available for the price. I hope it fails as hard as I see it fail in my head.
Also the comments about how they won’t pay teachers like they pay AI is an understatement. AI took over so fast and shoved in peoples faces that a lot of people are just realizing your not saving any money by replacing people since the AI as a whole cost more than all the individuals you let go! Its like they missed the memo that it needs to be cheaper for most companies to try it but instead it cost a fortune to do worse work and hold no accountability if something does go wrong.

AI marketing and propaganda is more dense than the skulls of the people soaking it up. I wouldn’t be too surprised.
