What if kids could finish core academics in two hours and spend the rest of the day building real-world skills? On this episode of Planet Tyrus, Tyrus sits down with MacKenzie Price, founder of Two Hour Learning and co-founder of Alpha School, to break down how AI-powered tutoring and “guides” (not traditional teachers) are reshaping K–12 education. MacKenzie explains Alpha’s 2-hour daily academic block, the “Time Back” idea, and why mastery-based learning can help students catch up or get ahead without endless homework. 



They dig into what’s missing in traditional schools: motivation, movement, transparency for parents, and how Alpha uses life-skills workshops to build confidence and resilience.
