#timeback
TimeBack sits at the heart of everything Alpha School does. Although billed as an AI-driven school, it is not. It is far more accurate to call it a "using software apps on computer" driven school.

Here is a sample of how parents and observers described TimeBack:

-- I watched kids clicking on a bunch of crap.
-- Many kids really hate TimeBack. Kids will cry in frustration with the apps.
-- One student said to me, “I feel like I’m going to fall asleep in the middle of my work.

My new story focuses on three components of Alpha School:

1. TimeBack, what once and sometimes still is called "2 Hour Learning"
2. The Dean of Parents role
3. The general culture of Alpha School

Let's explore these in turn.

A helpful and comprehensive overview of Alpha School’s high school boot camp activities and the fallout from the student tweets. (One correction: students aren’t learning from an “AI tutor” when using the TimeBack/2 Hour Learning software.)

I say this with fondness as boy did I use Pandora all the timeback then. Pretty sure I had like "Snow Patrol Radio" and "Jack's Mannequin Radio" (among many channels)

(c.) missing my overall life back there (I felt so lonely all the timeback there)

Making peace with my adictions and learning to control when I am smoking/consuming stuff more consciously, I'm back to 4 cups of coffee a day which is not great for my stomach

Ooh.
Ooooohh!
You see me in awe over this. You nailed the "timeback" style perfectly 😃

“It makes more sense to think of Alpha schools as the incentive system and environment that gets the kids to use the Timeback package properly — meaning, if there is an effective intervention, it is not Timeback itself…” (1/2)
Why parents love a school with bogus numbers
Alpha School’s growth scores aren’t real. Alpha School’s growth is.

100,000 photos. One rescue mission. 📸 ScanMyPhotos.com now digitizes massive archives at industrial scale, inspired by the 347,000-image Cayman TimeBack project. Two photos scanned every second. Because 96% of old photos are never seen again.

Myself, @thonfitzysham.bsky.social and more stepped back into timeback machine all the way to 1995.

A whole blend of metal, hip hop, indie and more besides. And the usual waffle and babble

Every year, libraries, museums, universities, and families race to save old photos and documents before they’re lost forever.

The real question isn’t whether your history matters.

It’s whether anyone will be able to see it 50 years from now.

What photos are you preserving?
