    the kicker here:

    this GCSE costs £27,000 per student per year

    they’re paying this much not to have teachers

    I’m trying to find any detail on what they actually do in this thing and I can’t find anything. As far as I can tell the AI does ??shit?? and the “learning facilitators” are the “teachers”.

      Seems to be like an awesome way to get tech millionaires with weird ideas about education from reading too much Ayn Rand to cough up 27 grand a year to educate their unfortunate kids.

        I’m trying to work out what the fuck is up with this school. Like that’s a private school fee, sure.

        But in what world did this look like a good idea?

        for comparison, there’s a school that does an online GCSE at £5k/yr full rate, popular with diplomats and expats, but for about half the students it’s paid for by the local council as disability support (kids who can’t attend a physical school for some reason). I predict everyone involved would shit if they tried this AI nonsense on them.
