No dark sarcasm in the classroom

There is a lot of fear around AI at the moment, and it is totally understandable.

The Castlereagh Statement is an important first step, and the next is facing the fear of the unknown head on.

I am trying to open up the conversation on another front.

One underrated fact about Alpha School in America is that students love learning with a teacher who knows them, shows endless patience, and most importantly does not judge them. They get individual tutoring and a learning relationship without the emotional baggage of a mainstream classroom.

I cannot get that out of my head, and so I have developed a proposal for a new school in Australia based on the Alpha School and Estonia's great leap forward in embracing AI rather than hiding from it.

The more research I did, the more convinced I became that we need a viable alternative here, for no reason other than that the future these kids face is so obviously different from what we are currently teaching them for, and they deserve something that will prepare them.

That is what the PrimarAI school will do.
