Forcing kids to read things they hate just simply doesn’t work. Our reading philosophy at Alpha is simple: kids learn to love reading by reading what they love.
Sure, it’s important for kids to be exposed to classic literature. But being forced to read highbrow literature as a young teen is often the very thing that makes kids hate reading in the first place. Many of them never bother picking up a novel again. If the goal is to have students fall in love with reading and become life-long readers, then we should cater the material to their interests. Whether it’s comic-books, books about insects, or a biography on the Kardashians, there has to be a better way.
We built our own app called Teach Tales to solve this problem.
Alpha School has one of the best gifted programs in the country. Here, children’s full potential become realized. Elementary schoolers learning calculus, middle schoolers scoring in the 99th percentile of the SAT, high schoolers with million dollar businesses, etc. Students at
We asked Texas Sports Academy students to describe their school:
- "This is the first year I've ever been happy after school"
- "Moved up from 6th grade to 11th grade reading"
- "2 homers and we've only played 4 games"
- "I just want to be at school all the time"
Texas Sports Academy students get 2 hours of AI-powered academics and 3 hours of elite sports training - all before the school day is over.
Hear from our students:
A school built for student-athletes just became the fastest-growing in Texas.
Fox Business just covered it.
We built it. It's called Texas Sports Academy.
AI really can help education: Randomized controlled experiment on high school students found a GPT-4o powered tutor that personalized problems for students raised final test scores by .15 SD, "equivalent to as much as six to nine months of additional schooling by some estimates"
Marc Andreessen: There are two ways to think about education. One is at the national level — how do you educate all kids? But the real question is N = 1: what do you do for one individual kid? And for centuries, the answer has been obvious.
If your goal is to maximize a single child, the best method by far is one-on-one tutoring. Every royal family knew this. Every aristocratic class knew this. It’s why Alexander the Great was tutored by Aristotle — and then took over the world.
There’s actually statistical proof of this. The Bloom’s 2-sigma effect shows one-on-one tutoring can move a kid from the 50th percentile to the 99th percentile. No other educational method comes close.
AI changes that. For the first time in history, every kid can have access to infinite questions, instant feedback, personalized explanations, and real-time quizzes — all at N = 1 scale.
This is the most powerful shift in education we’ve seen in centuries. One-on-one tutoring was always the gold standard. AI is what finally makes it available to everyone.
We’re launching full-length, on demand practice exams for standardized tests in @GeminiApp, starting with the SAT, available now at no cost.
Practice SATs are grounded in rigorously vetted content in partnership with @ThePrincetonRev, and Gemini will provide immediate feedback highlighting where you excelled and where you might need to study more.
To try it out, tell Gemini, “I want to take a practice SAT test.”
Today we are launching @openwork_ai, an open-source (MIT-licensed) computer-use agent that’s fast, cheap, and more secure.
@openwork_ai is the result of a short two-day hackathon our team decided to hack, which brings together some of our favorite open source AI modules into one powerful agent, to allow you to:
1. Bring your own model/API key (any provider and model supported by @opencode is supported by Openwork)
2. ~4x faster than Claude for Chrome/Cowork, and much more token-efficient, powered by dev-browser by @sawyerhood (legend)
3. More secure - contrary to Claude for Chrom/Cowork, does not leverage the main browser instance where you are logged into all services already. You login only to the services you need. This significantly reduces the risk of data loss in case of prompt injections, to which computer-use agents are highly exposed.
4. Free and 100% open-source!
You can download the DMG (macOS only for now) or fork the github repo via the link in bio (@openwork_ai).
Let us know what you think (or better, send a pull request)!
What have been the best context management strategies you’ve seen implemented?
My most recent one on long-running AI agent convos is to leave the most recent N messages in tact and keep ‘compacting’ the previous messages with a vertical-specific prompt. Does well 98% of the time but the 2% when it fails is UGLY
