I can’t tell you how many people I see online who think Alpha School is a gimmick, who assume “learning 2X in two hours per day” is nothing but flashy marketing jargon, like pretty wrapping paper for an empty box.
To be honest, I don’t blame them. I appreciate that parents are thinking critically about their kids’ education. (And at one point in my life, I probably would have been one of those skeptics, as well.) But here I am, shouting from the rooftops about “learning 2X in two hours per day.” Because it’s not a gimmicky marketing ploy, not in the slightest.
And I want to give you the full picture.
Recently, I spoke at the Social Innovation Summit on what it means to redefine school in the 21st century. You can watch my talk here, or if you’re an essay enthusiast (I’m assuming you are since you’re reading this!), feel free to keep on scrolling.
