    The thing is, technology could absolutely play a huge role in advancing education, allowing students to approach material at their own pace and (algorithmically, not black box bullshit) adjusting problem sets to optimize their benefit from the learning.

    But this is to free the actual teacher to spend their time one on one assisting students with areas where they need the extra attention. It’s not to replace it with some unreliable bullshit machine.

    (It should also probably be only part of the schedule. Various group settings have a bunch of value in a bunch of contexts both for the material and social stuff.) But you could absolutely enhance learning.
