Is AI About to Revolutionise the Classroom?
The author, an early AI adopter, reflects on using large‑language models for blogging and teaching, noting both convenience and the need for constant fact‑checking. He examines Alpha School’s “2‑Hour Learning” model, which mixes AI‑driven instruction with project time, but points out the lack of independent outcome data and its premium fees (≈$33 USD/year). By comparing this approach to past educational technologies, he argues that AI’s interactivity alone may not overhaul learning. Ultimately, he remains skeptical that AI will replace teachers, emphasizing motivation as the core challenge.
