Classical Education Team

Diagnosis: Education in America—public and private—is not only expensive and bureaucratic, but demoralized and feckless in the face of AI.

Prioritize efforts to: increase transparency and choice for parents, remove technology from classrooms and school operations, ensure early and thorough instruction in reading, writing, and basic math, and tighten standards for student behavior and decorum.
