Everyone wants America’s education system to do better. Ex-Googler Max Ventilla has a radical idea for how to make it work more like a social network. Ventilla’s AltSchool is building a highly-personalized education experience that gets better and cheaper as more students use it. Subscribe: https://freeth.ink/youtube-subscribe-altschool
In a decade, AltSchool may not have just built some new schools but rather a new school system that all will be able to join. What do you think: is this the future of schools or an idea that won’t succeed? Let us know what you think about education reform in the comments and subscribe to Freethink for more videos on the cutting edge of social and technological change.

Look up the Reggio Emilia approach, it's an educational philosophy where students lead and teachers guide and encourage. Instead of homework, children work on projects and can choose what project they want to work on. There are no tests, no worksheets, no lesson plans. Instead there are centers for children to explore different materials (mainly natural or recycled) and ask questions and then the teacher builds on the student's curiosity.
Reggio education was developed after WW2 in a small town in Italy, so this concept has been around for a long time but many people don't know about it. I taught at a Reggio preschool for 4 years and the kids were happier, more confident, and more creative than kids who had to go to a traditional school where they have to sit in a boring class and memorize stuff they are forced to learn. The only issue is that the school I used to teach at is only for rich kids. It's a very expensive school with small class sizes. This type of school needs to be free for everyone.
love this start up. I wonder how it is doing now in 2022
I would like to know how this is being paid for. What is the economic model for recovery of investment or is it totally student parent user funded. Or do you do a new kind of partnership with the government.
Education like anything else in this world is connected to money.
If you have money you can get it.
The schools will be same TRUST ME
Pretty cool
Great job guys!!
This is bad. A Corporation funded by some of the most unscrupulous people on the planet. Corporatisation of education = death.
Great video!
We must stand for a change, we aren't heard enough, we must change this as fast as we can, or else it'll become too late, everything in this world has changed already and going to change further, so why must it's fundamental parts won't?
Where did this school go?
Learning how to comment techniques created a generation of journos and politicians and we are at the brink of collapse for suffering them. Schools need to start actually teaching solid techniques. One school I went to counted I.T as a core GCSE I think in this day and age it should be as the set standard, especially with gigs economy accounting for most of the rungs on the ladder.
I wish i learned there
When i think about how many YEARS of my life i wasted CRAMMING useless things in school,that i will never need,i cringe.
School should prepare kids for the REAL world.
Todays world is radically DIFFERENT from the world that was 200 years ago when this school INSANITY started.
bro you should tell kids not american kids, you are being racist
This is great. When I was a kid I was part of the GATE program, the school ended funding for the program. I was soon subject to adults who would dictate what I do and when I did it, I quickly lost interest. I sometimes wonder what I would be if I had spent those years expanding my knowledge instead of playing video games and sneaking beers. In short, the public education system failed me greatly. (oh and my state spends about 40k/student)
Yo isn't this what everyone was supposed to be doing during the c-vid lockdown….even currently if you wouldn't care to send your children to be on any type of campus, just homeschool and using these presented structures , could improve edu…But still not sending 'em brother.

In an unscripted moment, Ventilla told Forbes, “We might not be around in five years.” AltSchool barely lasted five more months.

This is upgraded montessori
No mention of Montessori? 🤔 … My dude the better battle-hardened system is already more than 100 years old, Bezos, both Google founders, your Bill Gates (the so-called Montessori-mafia), the english princes, Beyonce and Taylor swift all went to Montessori schools. It's also already worldwide right now with resources readily available and really popular in some non-oecd countries. No mention .. 🤔
You barely actually explained how the schools actually operate, what the curriculum is like, and how it's all implemented practically.
Seems like this type of education has a Montessori type undertone.
I choose trational education.
