In this fascinating conversation, Ginny Yurich sits down with MacKenzie Price, founder of 2 Hour Learning and co-founder of Alpha School, to talk about what happens when kids stop spending their best hours trapped in an outdated system and start using that time to actually live. Together they explore personalized learning, the promise and tension of AI, the loss of childhood margin, and why giving kids their time back may be one of the most hopeful ideas in education right now. If you’ve ever wondered whether school could look more human, more effective, and more aligned with real life, this episode will leave you energized, challenged, and imagining something better. Alpha’s model centers on “2 Hour Learning,” where core academics are completed in about two hours and the rest of the day is opened up for life skills, projects, and real-world experiences.
