@BrianRoemmele Our rural schools are seeing loss of students year after year. AI will continue this trend. I see micro-pop-up type schools/co-ops as the future. The top 20% are going to leave when they realize how good it can be if they leave.

I am with you on most things.

This one- AI is a technology that producers should be shaping for teachers. The fact that they have to form summits indicates that ROI (money) is the prime motivator- advertisers.

Social media was amazing human connecting tech, until its sole function became money-making. Polymorphic algorithms are most efficient at tuning to the desired outcome.

Google said we are the product. Now AI says everything you know and everyone else knows and believes is the product. Is it for good or consumption and making a handful of people uber rich.

Brian, educators don’t know where to start. Companies need to offer exact skill sets to educators for developing their courses and even assessment tasks. Am talking about non stem disciplines which have traditionally formed the backbone of the education economy and a work entry for youth.

@BrianRoemmele Here's one place to start: https://x.com/disrupteduchi

@BrianRoemmele How many educators do you know? Half my family are in the business. The only people educators listen to are educators and they have locked themselves in a negative spiral.

@BrianRoemmele they need to hire more people with people skills, and if they think that not needed, that's a problem.

@BrianRoemmele great share

thanks Brian

@ArticlesOnX Thank you! This is exactly my point.

@BrianRoemmele I’m a public school elementary teacher for gifted kids…kids with IQs 132 and above. The teachers don’t like AI and dont know how to use it with kids. They also still teach coding and don’t realize it’s obsolete.

@BrianRoemmele idk . parents will trust the teacher way before the ai company

@BeastieNews Yes. We should do nothing! Good idea.

From a systems perspective, the tools always change, but prudence and judgment remain constant.

The real challenge for education isn’t teaching students a specific AI tool, just as counting on fingers gave way to the scientific calculator.

It’s teaching them how to think, evaluate, and make decisions in a world where output is abundant.

I told my sons I didn’t want them to become human calculators, because at some point, that output becomes a commodity.

Judgment remains the differentiator.

@BrianRoemmele This would be a complete disaster/$$$ boondoggle.

@BrianRoemmele Am following your posts to observe the development in this area.

@minwiswip @BrianRoemmele Following him. Thanks.

@BrianRoemmele 3% of income for education? Bold ask. Probably cheaper than the pitchforks tho

@BrianRoemmele Unfortunately many educators are refusing to see the potential and have already made up their mind that AI = threat rather than opportunity.

@BrianRoemmele @ArticlesOnX [had this conversation at some tech in education conference in like 2012. I was there was because someone paid me $150 to record a few discussions. point is: literature is walked. old terrain. incentives matter. I think you're describing money laundering.]

@BrianRoemmele summits are feel-good theater. the real work is changing curriculum, updating teacher training programs, and guaranteeing that ai doesn't eliminate teaching jobs. that's a 10-year project, not a summer initiative unfortunately
