A.I. Are you Excited?

[tdismydog]

There are many can quotes in here I thought about using but thought I would make an independent post in response to AI in education from a veteran in education.

First off, AI is already in education in fact you can completely homeschool your children with a virtual academy.

Secondly, addresses the gamification and rewards system for achieving a standard. I do not necessarily disagree with all of the time, but one of the skills I hear so many adults talk about about is our children's inability to be bored. I see this in my own 2 kids(I have a 6 year old and a 9 year old) and frankly it is annoying. Constant gamification of education only reenforces this.

I do see the benefits of AI. I am a teacher with 23 years of experience, due to many things and the subject I teach, I see very few resources dedicated my classes. Things that used to take me days, weeks, even months to create now can take just just a few minutes. I am also able to differentiate both assignments and reading for my students which allows my learners with learning disabilities to get the same content as my regular ed. students.

There are some extreme downfalls. It is next to impossible to teach students the difference between fake and real news, especially when students primary source of information are tik tok and instagram. Next, there are profound effects on the developing brain mainly with the ability to make decisions with out help. As our generation ages and the younger one takes over, will we still have capable soldiers, nurses, lawyers, and surgeons or any other job that requires someone to make a split second decision on their own? Hard to say, maybe AI bots perform all these jobs in the future. Along with teaching of course.

So it would sound like stephen hawking telling them good job. I bet that will get them so excited . They get grades thats the reward they also get recognition already. What you described is exactly what is happening now and i dont see ai helping anything except making them lazy and dependent and not able to freely problem solve

Right now a whole classroom is being taught by 1 adult, at a slow and stead pace so even the retards can keep up. you cant see the difference between that and each student having his own personal tutor that never gets frusterated or distracted and always gives 100% of its attention to that student, teaching the student in the exact way he responds best to? Its pretty much polar opposite of whats happening now.

Teachers shouldnt be teaching students what news to listen to, you realize teachers lean hard left generally? School is for learning, not that crap. Kids dont need to learn about alternative sex techniques in school, or that men can be women, or that affirmative action is good. Parents can teach them that if they want. You know "real news" is largely propaganda also right?

AI glasses can identify people you pass on the street also. How much would it help for meeting women if you could walk up to them and know their name, their hobbies and interests, relationship status etc, before you even say hi?

Let me know how attracted women are to a guy wearing those geek alarms.

Drop me off in 1978 or 79 first please.

And I want my Camero back!!!

You need to watch less news and trust the hard working teachers in your local district. This isn't Portland, it's the rural Dakotas. Teachers here aren't hard lefties. They're your neighbors. Coaches. Community volunteers. They don't have the time to indoctrinate. They're there for the kids. Most I know would have been successful in anything they chose. And they're not dumb enough to put themselves on the line in the communities they serve. I can honestly say in my teaching career even the dumbest teachers were aware to stay away from subjects that folks could accused them of indoctrinating. I understand there may be a random out there doing dumb shit. But to insinuate all teachers do is ignorant at best. If people worried more about parents doing their jobs rather than teachers the whole country would be farther ahead.
