It took her two years of saying, come to my school.

And I'm like, dude, no offense, McKinsey, I'm not sending my kid to your weird janky school.

Like, it's weird.

It's different.

I didn't want to do it.

And that's the normal parent reaction to all of this.

And the reason is because it's all we know.

So back to the 200 years is there were, if you go Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Alexander the Great, the elite had tutors.

But fundamentally, 200 years ago, when we decided everybody needed education globally, there

We created the industrialized model.

And the way to do it is put a teacher in front of the classroom and whatever the class size is, 20, 30.

That is actually globally.

It doesn't matter where you are in the world.

You can be in the poor school district, you know, in India, and there's a teacher in front of the classroom.

Building's not that nice.

Or you could be down the street here at a

$75,000 private school, and it's a teacher in front of a classroom in a very nice, very nice building.

And that is how teaching has been done.

Now, what happened is 40 years ago, the schools of education, Stanford was one of the leading ones, lots of others, took a lead and said, how do kids learn and develop?

And there's actually a thing called learning science, the science of how children develop.
