This is a very hard problem to solve - nobody has successfully solved it before. It's not just a practical problem, because there are also a lot of political motivators. It's difficult to get districts to adopt new technologies, and teachers have a way they already like to teach.

There are already some great quality resources online to learn subjects like math, history, and science, but we believe the missing piece is grading - you're never actually evaluated whether you learned something online.

We think by giving students unlimited practice and feedback, along with quality learning materials, we can work on chipping away at this issue. AI will allow scaling access to quality tutoring, practice, and exams, all of which significantly improve eduction (currently, this costs $40-$X00/hr, but will cost much less with AI assistance). It's definitely not a quick fix to solve the issue of instructional quality.
