You know, many things in traditional education are just not working for a variety of reasons.
And we see that in the test scores in Australia, in America, something in traditional education isn't working.
And so how can we address that through technology?
And I think the Alpha schools offer a really interesting model of how schools are gonna look in the future.
And, you know, AI is here.
So how can we take it and use it for our advantage in education?
And what I really like is that the AI tutor meets your child where they are.
So if you're in a room of 30 children,
you're teaching to the middle or you're helping your, a lot of your concentration is going to be with students who may need extra help.
So I think that the AI tutor offers that really personalized learning, which I think is great.
And they also pair it with project-based learning.
So they're learning real life skills.
They're learning how to put an Ikea bed
furniture together they're looking at how to run a business they have a lot of outdoor time so it isn't just this full tech based school it has a really balanced approach and they're getting the kids ready for life like how is AI going to change
how the job market's going to look.
So what skills are we going to be giving our kids where they're going to go into a job market that we're unsure of?
They're going to need skills, like maybe creating a business, thinking outside of the box.
So I do think it's quite an exciting model.
And also it's flexible.
Like I have a friend who homeschools their child and they use the AI tool.
