So you know it must work, right? Except Boy, Was I Wrong About Alpha School by Wess Trebelsi at AI ∩ K12. This is someone who wants the tech revolution in education to work. He is sympathetic.
But he has also seen other promising results blow up before, and calls 'em as he sees 'em.
I have long since learned not to be surprised when new educational marvels look like they work, because the news that there is selection bias and results that don't scale is just around the corner. Deception. Some of it may be salvageable, but it doesn't look likely.
