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.
