What If School Only Took 2 Hours a Day?

What if school only took two hours a day and kids learned twice as much?

That's the pitch behind Alpha School, a rapidly expanding education model that uses AI-driven learning for two focused hours of core academics, then frees students to spend the rest of their day on projects, collaboration, movement, and real-world experiences.

Brian Howell, Dean of Parents at Alpha School, joins John Curley to explain how the model actually works, why it's not the "robot school" critics think it is.
