    It’s a headline, or soundbite.

    “We don’t have teachers,” said Alpha private school cofounder MacKenzie Price. “Now, what we do have is a lot of adults who are in the room engaging with these kids, working as coaches. So they’re helping the kids get clear on what are some goals that they’re working on, what are they doing academically? What are they interested in? How can we really turn on that spark for learning?”

    So they have teachers, they just aren’t calling them that. Maybe they’re not specialized or have the proper training, but they’re still acting as teachers. Probably trying to fuck over the trained teachers though. That’s our national sport.

        I thought teachers aren’t paid well in the US? Aren’t most people complaining that they get far too little money?

      So just like Mal-Wart. No cashiers except the ones hanging around to fix the self-checkouts.
