Learning Social Skills in a School Without Teachers

I’ve written a bit before about the coming age of schools without human teachers.

Peter Greene takes a deeper dive into AI-based schooling and comes away with a lot. Particularly this salient bit:

And how the hell are students supposed to feel about being required to get their grade by chatting with a bot? What would they learn beyond how to talk to the bots to get the best assessment? Why should any student make a good faith attempt to speak about their learning when no responsible human is making a good faith attempt to listen to them?

Schools without teachers are here

The schools of the future are here – in Arizona, at least.

That is, schools without teachers. Schools where students zone-in on a device for two hyper-focused hours and then play Dungeons and Dragons or use a rock climbing wall the rest of the day.

Adults are in the building – but for emotional support and supervision, not for teaching.

Unbound Academy, which also operates in Texas and Florida under the name Alpha Schools, claims that kids can learn twice as much using a two-hour learning plan that gets customized by an AI program instead of a traditional human teacher in front of a classroom.
