School leaders believe pairing AI and life skill courses is the future of education.

Alpha private school leaders believe AI learning paired with life skill courses will be the standard for modern schools in the future. The school doesn’t have teachers but instead uses what it calls “guides.”

It’s a headline, or soundbite.

“We don’t have teachers,” said Alpha private school cofounder MacKenzie Price. “Now, what we do have is a lot of adults who are in the room engaging with these kids, working as coaches. So they’re helping the kids get clear on what are some goals that they’re working on, what are they doing academically? What are they interested in? How can we really turn on that spark for learning?”

So they have teachers, they just aren’t calling them that. Maybe they’re not specialized or have the proper training, but they’re still acting as teachers. Probably trying to fuck over the trained teachers though. That’s our national sport.

So just like Mal-Wart. No cashiers except the ones hanging around to fix the self-checkouts.

Probably don’t need to pay them as well because they aren’t considered teachers.

I thought teachers aren’t paid well in the US? Aren’t most people complaining that they get far too little money?

Yes, exactly. So even less than that.

Yes and the bit here is that they’d be getting paid even less after losing the ‘teacher’ designation.

They are paid more than zero, therefore this is an opportunity to pay them less I suppose ha ha. Capitalism.
