@BarbaraBleiman Can you possibly quote anyone really claiming they want to reject dialogue or interactivity? Have you ever met any real teacher who doesn't care for the global growth of their students? Your over-simplification is so enormous it looks like a ghost or, typically, a huge strawman.

Not to mention that this is a huge negative for work/life balance and wellbeing for our educators, many of whom would prefer to spend that time cultivating positive relationships with students, families, and colleagues & tending to their own families and friendships.
This is *not* surprising. We've known for quite some time that nearly every teacher in the U.S. creates, curates, or customizes their curriculum. The question is whether that standard practices yields any measurable benefit for students.

Soon, students will have CONVERSATIONS with Aristotle, Socrates, or Plato rather than just reading about them. This is how AI is REVOLUTIONIZING education.

@HKorbey I teach AP math and Algebra 1, and this is not a small observation. AP frameworks (not a curriculum, but they are clear and focused) allow curriculum writers to create coherent materials. I am old (33rd yr teaching) and so I’ve watched a few slow motion train wrecks.

I — as vocal an advocate for generous child & family policies as one may find — am once again asking everyone who thinks the solution to low birth rates is making child-rearing less expensive to reckon with the Nordic birth rate charts.
