@rubergly handled the drilling comment well, so I'll just quickly add:
1) We do want kids to learn lessons at home so that teachers are freed up to do more project-based learning and...well...teaching (instead of lecturing). This doesn't mean the world falls apart if kids aren't watching videos at home. As @rubergly says, computers in the classroom allow for individualized instruction and solid data, which humanizes the kids' experience by helping teachers address individual needs.
2) On the school front -- there are lots of ideas floating around when thinking about the future, but I can assure you that our primary focus is exactly what it says on the website: "providing a free world-class education to anyone anywhere."
- karambahh 15y agoThanks for your answers Indeed, I used the word drill in precisely that meaning. I think I might have been biased by wired's piece. Maybe it's just me or maybe they failed to render correctly what your org really is.
