As a veteran homeschooler, (34 years, 11 children all now college graduates) the “new” way of education with AI is the way we’ve been doing it for years! A few hours of core academics then lots of time to explore other interests!

WOW... 11 children! Respect!!!

As one who also "homeschooled" my boys all the way through high school, I can attest the same. The AI school model is going to absolutely BREAK the institutional, one-size-fits all school model that teaches to the lowest common denominator. State (public) education is Dead-Man-Walking.

That ‘lowest common denominator’ always angered me. My kids were often bored or helping others learn because they grasped concepts quickly but had to stay with the group. I wonder what they could have accomplished from an AI curriculum focused on their learning. 😳😖

You remind me of a very good movie called "Stand and Deliver" that was a motivator for me for home schooling. In the movie the protagonist tells the school administration, "The children will rise to the level of your expectations." The implication was that the school was preventing the students from excelling because their expectations for the students was too low. Happens ALL the time.
