I don't disagree. But, as I wrote back to these reporters, I am most optimistic about projects that respond to the expressed concerns of students and teachers. These are the people who spend 180 days inside schools each year, and they're the key actors in the process of teaching and learning. 1/n

Gross. This is literally the oldest story in US school. Dumb but slick tech guy wants to start schools--thinks he knows better than anyone with actual experience. Desperate rich adults buy in. Plan blows up. (1/2)

Hampshire College started with a grand promise: to serve as "a vehicle for the realization of self in society." This fall, the school will close its doors. I talked to some of its founders, faculty, students, administrators, and board members about what its loss means thebaffler.com/latest/class...

Private liberal arts schools were never going to kickstart the revolution. But the closure of Hampshire College further narrows the political imaginary.

Listening to this, I can hear that phone ring five minutes before homeroom just to learn that my plan period would be lost to subbing again. And the anxiety over calling out sick because it would mean six of my peers would be doing the same for me!

Alright, so after many many drafts, my NEPC education “policy review” covering Year I of Trump II is out. A “Not great, Bob!” gif might have served as well. I end up arguing that doing the life-giving work of good education requires intensely local effort in a newly obvious kind of way.

“One of the assumptions about AI tutors is that once we replace the human with an AI agent, everyone will keep interacting with the AI as if they were still dealing with the human. That’s a silly assumption, particularly in a school setting. Students do not even treat humans like other humans.”
