MacKenzie Price’s “future of education” looks more like a Silicon Valley fever dream than anything resembling a classroom.
In videos that the Austin, Texas-based influencer and entrepreneur shares of students at her dozen or so K-12 schools, a ten-year-old boasts that he is a successful Airbnb manager, while another constructs a miniature Cybertruck. High-schoolers take “business calls,” lounging in a WeWork-style open office space.
Academic instruction in Price’s schools is delivered via a suite of online education apps for two hours per day, leaving the afternoons free for Cybertruck construction and tech CEO make-believe. This is the brand around which her work revolves: 2 Hour Learning, which is billed as an “AI tutor” that can entirely replace all classroom teachers via a few hours spent glued to a laptop screen.
