If somehow the US Public Schools had managed to overcome the numerous challenges for education in poor urban and poor rural areas, maybe the case for alternative schools and schooling would be weak. But that hasn’t happened, and the current circumstances for US education are swinging towards alternatives to Public Schools through red state vouchers, and local initiatives such as this report from a “Home Schooler” advocate in Las Cruces.
Should powerful tutoring through AI become available, as seems likely perhaps within a year, it may well be that the first adopters will be Home Schoolers. And some Public Schools will want to compete, perhaps through similar programs offered through “Community Schools”.
Predicting the future in the middle of great disruption seems iffy at best, and if there’s an actual market, there are certainly tech and telecom corporations that would be interested in nationwide rollouts. But the problem there is aggregating the market when local and statewide Public School bureaucracies are so slow to act or reform.
Which leaves a door open for the mom and pop school experiments with AI learning modules.
