When the government fails to provide a solution it should be no surprise when wealthy individuals step in and solve the problem.

His kid would get more out of the arrangement. He curates the brightest co-students to elevate his child’s already advantaged position; they go back to a chronically static class rung. Just feels exploitative in the long run. I know he means well, but it’s a shallow solution.

Are you surprised that the kids of the wealthy get more more out of schooling arranged by their wealthy parents? What's the solution here, their family refuses to expend resources and suffers in solidarity because of a government failure?

This isn’t a solution. This is one rich guy with a whim. Millions of kids are the priority here. But we are talking about him and his kid.

But yes, like Danielle said, if he framed it as an experiment to see if it could yield a scalable solution, that would be smart.

Uh, that's just posturing, right? Practically speaking, how could we expect small pods (by definition during the pandemic) to scale when student teacher ratios are much higher in public schools.

no it’s not, the hope would be the ultimately have software supporting say peer instruction assignments and quests, shared materials and lesson plans, a network maybe, a system to set up your own, why not?

There is some cool stuff out there - AI assisted in class learning that augments teachers ability to track learning challenges.
