I can only see potential in this if this sort of teaching style only took one quarter portion of a child's schooltime. Children need time for group work, they need time to effectively socialize, to engage in more physical activities, and to experience different teaching styles than those that are already pre-programmed and filed out for countless other children.
Reconquista I think the point of this system is to make education more effective and productive, which could lead to having less time at studying and more time playing and socializing. Yes, there are some classes that would be benificial to study in groups, for example art, but some of more sirious (if you excuse use of this word, i just can't put it another way) subjects should be calibrated for individuals.
Great idea! Most group work sessions when I was at school were an utter waste of time.... In most lessons you end up way behind if you miss something crucial or you're bored because you already know the stuff...There maybe somethings like sports, drama, science experiments etc that benefit from group interaction or are easier/cheaper to organise for a group, but core subjects like maths, english, science theory do not. Also standardizing education this way helps to reduce the damage that bad/lazy teachers do. I went to a pretty crappy senior school (which is still getting bad reports from the inspection board). The only reason my friends and I passed our final year exams was that we did a large amount of independent studying at home... literally 70% of time spent in the classroom was a waste of time...we mostly went to school to hang out... but even this wasn't optimal "hang out time". For the people that think school should be about socialising, learning how to work together etc, there are far better ways to do this... If these algorithms can make kids learn things in half the time, then they can spend the other half outside the classroom doing activities that facilitate socialising like crafts, orienteering playing games together etc....The soon they bring this stuff in the better
There are too few talented and energized teachers already. This is a great idea to pursue, trying to move education ahead instead of pretending that age old ideas still work. Memorization is one of the last dumb skills schools pretend matters; while some facts are key, there's just too many facts/data for anybody to know, even those in a focused profession (like no software programmers knows all modern programming languages, but they can learn if they have been taught programming).
I can see a little fine tuning needed, on the other hand, It's time schools moved with the times, The Human mind is evolving and the school need to also.
Learning is based on relationships not technology. Information can be transmitted using anything into anything or anyone.Technology is a tool used for learning not the cause of learning. Learning requires an authentic and organic exchange between another human.....a healthy brain requires healthy human interaction....not more machines
Newer school systems are very important for higher education around the world. This method at AltSchool is a nice system, but is still not the best. Children can't sit in front of their desktop all day long. Their posture will get worse and worse. Maybe you can solve this problem with more audible tasks. Get the subject material through the audible tasks and then do your exercises on your keyboard. For example in Southern East Asia the education level is higher and much harder but uses a lot of comfortable techniques.
How can you imagine one second that staring at the computer more than 5 hours per day CAN BE GOOD FOR THEIR HEALTH AND MENTAL PROGRESSION? I hope that this will not be a future . POOR KIDS POOR HUMANS
What exactly is the point of a teacher when most of the time these kids will spend is on these computerised and premade tasks. Great, more jobs lost to some goddam application .
James Grey That's what the current public school system does. They don't teach critical thinking skills, and they care only about a small group of children that aren't the super brains or the super unskilled (both can't be helped to raise the scores they are judged by today), just those who fall below the "standard" and can be moved above it.
You have to be sceptical atbest, and suspicious at worse when you see children being treated as programs with data and statistics through some Silicon Valley business model in their education program. Education is not this simplistic, and it worries me the idea of collecting data from such an early age, and what impact this has. The kid at the start who talks about being grade 6 level etc. just shows how much the influence of computational and competitve knowledge is centered around this model. It's not just about grades, stats, and data. This feels quite cold, and looks it too.
This is good, but also frightening. The right/wrong algorithims would not only teach, they'd manipulate...and if they can be used to do so in theory, someone will do it in practice. Also, unless the data is protected like Fort Knox, you'd know *everything* about a person's inner landscape. Not to mention the possibility of redacting classic texts without anyone knowing it in the younger generation. So, a useful tool in limited and ULTRA-secure applications...but one which I've been considering for a long time, and one every good teacher already uses--save with their brain instead of algorithims as neither teachers nor learners can thrive with one-size-fits-all tools.
This is terrible, so the kid reads at fifth grade level when other his age are reading at sixth grade level. The benefit of group learning is that you sometimes have to work harder to catch up to other students, or even just that you are given challenging material instead of what's easy for you.
Only place to say this education is school they say. Electronic grade books replacing regular paper books.They are no more randomly browsing, but have a purpose to fight against scooter regulations. Education is first and then you get everything you wished to have, but truth is you are not the one asking for the funding. You say you are the one sitting on a barrel.
Like all new applications of technology, there are some benefits & some drawbacks. Personalized education is a major benefit here... but that's about it, as far as I can see. I'm having a hard time seeing what problem this approach to education is actually aiming to solve... would love it if someone could enlighten me.
At my school in Scotland, we recently got every teacher and student an iPad. Personally I didn’t think it was the best idea but I think we could benefit from it. They have a classroom app on them and are only used for education.
FlyingMonkies325 I’ve been using an iPad for months now and it has improved my learning a lot actually. They aren’t ‘denying us information’ just making sure we aren’t messing around with apps and websites that aren’t relevant to the work we are doing. It has been easier to learn while in quarantine and it has a homework app that notifies parents when homework is due and I think that’s helped too. They limit us to certain apps, yes but we can search pretty much anything on google and it comes up with the same information it would on the device you are using to read this.
Dear readers I watched the video because we are learning how school will look like in the future. I think the topic is not really interesting, not in English lessons. In my opinion the world is going to be better in the near future, especially the school system is going to change. The school system in the video is my favourite. I would like to be part of the system. I know most of you aren't going to agree with my comment, but I like the school system because of the less social contact. In our school children are always talking to each other, doing activities after/ during school but what if this is the false way. I think that the only thing you have to do in school is learning that what you have to know for the tests. In our century school is defined as a building where you have a lot of fun and find new friends. But that isn't school. School is a building where you learn things for your future. Many students don't learn because they want to show the others in their Cool. In the school system you see here this can't happen, because everybody is learning on his own. And that's the best precondition to learn good and well.
Does this 30 grand, let's call it 100 bucks a day also pay for field trips, gallery visits, forest and nature trips? It doesn't even mention sport or music which often leads to better results with small groups creating lyrics as a team. I'm not criticising as such, just merely figuring out how many hours per day these kids are banging on a small screen compared with group activities and appreciating the great outdoors.
Where are the swings ? Kids playing with clay, drawing or even using a pencil ? This is not how schools should be...God, where are we heading to ? Looks more like a commercial of Apple products than a school.
I am not sure that this is a good way in the education. There is a danger that the child will lose the contact with reality. Using computers or virtual reality(VR) in the education itself is not bad, but children should not use computer or VR all time. There are some things or abilities you cannot learn by computer or VR like empathy, thinking and so on.
George, it's like you are religiously believing in such system ^^ But seriously no need to comment on each and every comment here dude. BTW, maybe you were in a horrible school but as a musician who is also a PhD in astrophysics I had relatively speaking a very good school experience when I was a child. Schools are boring because 'life' itself can be boring if we don't pay attention to the importance of values. I guess you should stick to hacking and stop being religiously faithful in anything you think is interesting. I would say though, that there are good and bad parts in such platforms and system, but generally speaking I would not send my child to go and attend such primitive (but seemingly advanced!) environment for education. I'm a musician and scientist, and I know firsthand how much we need to keep our humanistic values above all the other things including even science and art.

so because your school was awful you think this should be rolled out for everyone? 🤔
YES!!! WHY WASN'T I BORN IN A TIME WHERE THIS WAS THE NORM! BLESS THESE PEOPLE AND BLESS THE FUTURE
this would give big tech and governments complete control over people from cradle to grave.
This is totally unrealistic, children are happier interacting in a normal way with other children, this is how they learn
I love horses
I finally know how kids in '1984' look like.

My college tuition is $1800 a year...
More money for big tech!Kids learn through play,they are not robots or computers.They need to learn to socialise.
Im a terrible student I hate the though that I would have to show Individuality in my work
What exactly is the point of a teacher when most of the time these kids will spend is on these computerised and premade tasks.
Great, more jobs lost to some goddam application .
This doesn't seem so good to me tbh. It's just going to feed kids' screen-addiction, and it reduces teacher/student interaction.
Sikander have you not seen the news students and teachers are sleeping with each other I'll call this a step in the right direction
training the next generation of wage slave workers to love their servitude
just eletrically stimulate theyre brain every time they conplete a task ez

the classroom environment fuccked me up. couldnt learn shiit. i learned better by myself through the internet.

It’s funny how people romanticize school. School was a means to an end. Stop it with the fantasy. Change is good, and often needed.
This is good, but also frightening. The right/wrong algorithims would not only teach, they'd manipulate...and if they can be used to do so in theory, someone will do it in practice.

Stop lying to children and teach them how to survive the concrete jungle system.

Soon: no teachers!!! Let's all celebrate... *slow claps (Power to the Sheeple!)
90% of teachers just read from a book. in a bored classroom where 50% of people are to advance and 50% are to slow. this can change that
