“We have third and fourth graders who outscore 50% of the high school graduates in this country.”

“Well, I'm taking a billion dollars cash out of the company so I can fund.”

“And so our academic performance, we're the best performing academic school in the country. We're, you know, all our classes now are, you know, are top one percent.”

“And so, and that is our target goal. We're absolutely going to get there. It's not going to be tomorrow, but I, I'm in this for the next 20 years.”

“For example, New York State right now currently bans any use of AI and these things, so your apps actually are not allowed there as far as I understand.”

“How we measure that is, can you argue both sides of the debate? And no matter who you are, if you can't steal me on the other side, you don't understand the debate.”

“We have over a thousand Ukrainian refugees right on this system. And you're learning as fast as our 40,000 dollar private school.”

“We can take kids from the bottom 25% and get them to the top 25% in two years.”

“At Alpha, we're up to, 96% of kids say they love school. 40 to 60% say, I'd rather go to school than go on vacation.”

“What they do is motivational and emotional support, right? They are either motivating this kid, they are getting to know this kid so well, so that they know what does matter. And then second, how do I support them through that struggle loop we talked about ear…”

“One of the things I've learned as a principal now, and I've been principal for three years, is parents want their kids to be educated the way they were.”

“Academically, it's actually funny, because school's a bundle, and actually the easiest and cheapest things to fix is actually the academics, right? Because that's tech-driven. Versus the rest of the day is all very human driven.”

“Now, we're coming out with schools at half the price, and we're hitting, we're- Even at half the price, you're getting kids to like the very top results.”
