While there is much talk about AI & Education, different contexts also influence outcomes, processes, and initiatives. Thank you Terry for focusing specifically on the context of public schools and starting to bring out these important perspectives.
Thanks, Riccardo. I was born in a backwoods myself into a large family (13 children). My first experience in a public school located in a tiny town a mile or so away was such a gift to a boy who was predestined for poverty. Public schools got me career ready. More importantly, this freely given sanctuary made the pledge of allegiance mean something to me. It wasn’t a thoughtless mouthing of words like eating your vegetables. I came to understand in a childlike way the wonder of democracy. My grade school teachers came into the ravine of my brain and brought me an inner life for which I repay them by trying to keep public school vital and real. I’m not worried about them that’s got. Public school is a sacred trust. I don’t want to see it destroyed.
