Teachers are humans dealing with human children and can even tell you when one student is having an off day. AI cannot do that. No computer emulates human brains (yet) and the complexity of learning and teaching. So, teachers, like students, will not become obsolete from use of AI until the complexity and nuance of the brain can be incorporated.

It's almost a point of pride with them. Also, most have no children, or no children in public school, so they have very little understanding of public schools or the people in them. The VCs and techies are also used to people surrendering their privacy and personal data willingly, even eagerly, in just about everything they do online. Imagine their surprise when the same parents and students who they track with cookies every second, who give them everything on Facebook, Snapchat, and their Android phones, suddenly get in a privacy snit about scores on a math quiz. I am sure their heads are still spinning.<br /><br />The way that tech disruptors get rich is substituting AI and big data for human clerical work and human judgement. So ya, there is no way ed-tech vendors will bother getting involved if they don't get the data. You can't build a unicorn selling worksheets on the web.<br /><br />Teachers might be naturally suspicious about what this means for them. At a minimum, ed-tech adoption would change the nature of their work the same way that computerized autopilot changed the work of airline pilots. Teachers might worry that ed-tech would ultimately replace some of their training and experience, and lower their status or pay. Good luck getting them to cooperate in that case.<br /><br />But there are other dynamics present in the public schools that might tip the battle toward ed-tech, dynamics that MW and the PC crowd might not be comfortable talking about. In particular, the forced migration toward inclusive, no-discipline, no choice public school classrooms will change the nature of teaching anyway, and render a lot of formerly good teachers useless anyway. It's easy to imagine a future where the role of teacher shifts to being essentially counselor, child psychologist, and entertainer, while the educational functions are handled by computers. It's easy to imagine schools with a multi-functional counselor in every classroom just socializing and keeping order (no small task), and two or three education managers in a central control room who operate the ed-tech system and dispense assignments to students and analyze their performance and choose the next assignment, and perhaps a fleet of paraeducator tutors buzzing about among students whom the computer has identified as being stuck. If that sounds outlandish, well, isn't that essentially what SPS has in mind with MTSS?<br />Outsidernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-5315773325924892852017-03-21T12:47:51.802-07:002017-03-21T12:47:51.802-07:00@dan-also I've noticed a disregard for parent ...@dan-also I've noticed a disregard for parent and teacher insights or advice. Gates really has no respect for the public school institutions and those who serve our students well.

Seems to always be in a big hurry. Repeatedly fails to take the time to experiment small and evaluate. Thus large scale disaster is becoming a Gates education hallmark.<br /><br />The rushed Common Core State Standards were largely a Gates Foundation production aided by the Obama/Duncan US Dept. of Ed.
