MacKenzie Price built Alpha β an AI-first school where kids do academics in just 2 hours a day, score top 1% nationally across every grade, and there's not a single teacher
delivering content. In this episode, she breaks down the model expanding across the country, what happens when you replace teachers with AI tutors, and why she predicts most parents will be losing jobs to AI in the next 6 months.
MacKenzie is co-founder of @thealphaschool and the 2 Hour Learning system β and one of the few educators saying out loud what most schools are still avoiding.
