This author seems to have completely misunderstood what Alpha School is doing. The student learns at their own pace. They don't move on until they learn it, whether that's quickly or slowly. That is worlds better than the assembly line system we have now, where if a student doesn't learn a concept, they are expected to build on top of that misunderstood concept in the next lesson, and then the entire remainder of their education becomes a wash. We are living in a world where high schools are graduating students that can't read and don't know their times tables. The critiques of alpha school are reactive inertia for a system that is already badly broken.
