Is unschooling the new school? According to Rolling Stone-- probably. The education system is broken, and parents are taking it upon themselves to forge a future where "going to school" is not a cookie-cutter experience. Your kid is unique-- shouldn't their education reflect that?

Do you think #AI has a place in education? We do. At Outschool, we're championing the integration of AI in education, contrasting with the cautious stance of many traditional educators.

That said-- embracing AI doesn't mean replacing teachers. Instead, we think it can enhance their ability to provide differentiated, high-quality education. What do you think?
