An easier means of starting up an EA-aligned, accredited private school.
As EA matures, there will be more and more parents. Kids of self-identified EAs are (going out on a limb) likely to be very smart and neuroatypical, and to struggle with the default schooling system .
As remote work options free up location choice, there could be major EA community-building gains from making it more straightforward to start an aligned micro school.
Speaking from personal experience, schooling considerations are a major limitation on my family’s ability to relocate and get more intimately involved with the EA community. I’m sure we’re not alone.
SchoolHouse is very much the kind of thing I’m thinking of. I have no idea what competition is like on the tech side of this, only that finding an actual school that works for my kids is still super challenging.
I’m Alex’s wife and this came out of a conversation during our Saturday night date watching the SERI conference.
An important point is that the kids of EAs are way more likely than others to grow up to become EAs. We certainly share these values with our children.
If the EA community is taking a long term view, we should be investing in the children of EAs as likely future EAs. Adding support for EA families may sow the seeds for future EA generations. Should EA be supporting their peers’ parental leave?
