There's no wrong way to cook. Same goes with how you use AI. For years, people asked me for my prompts, thinking that would get them my results. It never did. What actually works is knowing your style (how you cook) and using AI how it feels best.

Sputnik, A Nation at Risk, No Child Left Behind, Common Core. Four big reforms, and every one of them was bolted onto a school frame built before 1910. Now schools are adding AI electives and detection tools, and the frame is trying to absorb them. blandiorsublime956330.substack.com/p/why-educat...

A district gets federal recovery money, spends it on the best-evidenced intervention in education: tutoring 3x a week, trained adults, unanimous school board approval. By spring, the program is dead. Not because it failed. Because the master schedule, an artifact from 1906, had nowhere to put it.

Every school you've walked into runs on the same bet: knowledge is scarce, so you go there to get it. That bet paid off for almost two hundred years. Then a teenager with a phone got a free, solid answer in seconds. Three past reforms kept the bet alive. This one kills it.
