Alpha School: A New Approach To Education - MacKenzie Price - #981

What's fundamentally broken about the current school model? Oh boy, I don't know how long your podcast is, but let me tell you the fundamental issue. The teacher in front of the classroom model of one person trying to educate many kids who are at wildly different levels of understanding uh just fundamentally doesn't work. And uh that would be the summary.

Uh there's a lot of subpoints in there. Uh I think the other thing that we really want to fundamentally change in our culture is the attitude about school. I think people think school is like spinach. It's good for you, but you kind of just gotta, gotta, you know, get it through and and do that.

And what I truly believe is that kids should love school because when kids love school, it opens up the possibility to it opens up the possibility to do so many incredible things. And that's what we're doing at our schools. Dig deeper. What's wrong with the one person lecturing to 20, 30, 40? Yeah.
