AI Teachers Thinkable

 We need to open our minds to the true meaning of education. I worked in it for over thirty years full-time and I know, and see that it needs to be changed.  Majorly. Much of it is a system based not on inspiring curiosity using a background of past knowledge in a more immediate way via AI, but on having students read and listen to and watch and then parrot it for marks in school years on end. We miss hearing the experiences of the truly creative geniuses who have improved life on this planet. Do some research and you will learn that those who changed our lives, were not the best students with the highest marks in the old system, but the ones who departed from it to pursue their true hunger for the knowledge they yearned to gain and use. Some of my former students when put in front of a computer did much better because there, sitting with a computer in a carrel, was no interference such as the peer jazz that goes on in a classroom, let's face it, or teacher personality clashes or life background "noise". One boy in particular who was antisocial, depressed and emotionally ill to the point of weeping constantly, when his father put him in a school largely using computer screens,  excelled. His learning life was saved. Sure, that may have been in the past but sorry, we humans might change the dialect but we can't change much else about ourselves. We mustn't think that human teachers can do it all no matter their own knowledge or training and work at child at psychology. Now that students can find out via AI what they are curious about  in seconds, not months of reading out-of-date text books, listening to long lectures or doing tests and quizzes to earn marks, we must change. We need to feed the curiosities of  young people with an immediacy rather than what we know are long, planned out"courses" that could, in fact, be "learned" in a couple of days or weeks. Technical help is here.  Strange as it sounds. Think about it. If  you ask senior high students, and get the truth, they might tell you that they, too, want faster results rather than high schools that dabble in such as the nonsense of "school spirit" for example. Let's treat our kids as we do ourselves and get down to it. Kids want to and need to learn. The teachers who know this, need our help, too.
