Alpha School, an “AI-powered private school” that heavily relies on AI to teach students and can cost up to $65,000 a year, is AI-generating faulty lesson plans that internal company documentation find sometimes do “more harm than good,” and scraping data from a variety of other online courses without permission to train its own AI, according to former Alpha School employees and internal company documents.

Sure, but who wants to be at Beta School? Miss out on first-mover-advantage in (mis)educating your child? Only an idiot would do that!

I'd prefer 1.0 school, but hopefully they'll work out most the kinks in the beta version already. Alpha should just be for internal testing, aka the CEOs kids…
