Virtual Reading Intervention Teacher
About Primer Fixing our K-12 education system is a civilizationally-important problem. We believe that all of our problems including the ones that dominate the headlines are downstream of education... We have a simple thesis on how to solve it: empower 1,000's of educators to launch microschools in their communities. We believe the historical tradeoff between price (tuition) and quality is a false dichotomy. PrimerOS automates and eliminates much of the costs of traditional schools. Microschools have a structural advantage asset-light real estate which means much lower capex and opex. You put it together, and you get something that's never existed before: a world-class education that's accessible to normal American families and can rapidly scale.
