We could encourage parents to take an active role in tutoring their kids but I guess that's just entirely out of the question? Nah. Let's have AI do it
Yeah tell them to change things.. why didn't we think of that? Provide opportunities to make parenting less stressful like here so that they can involve more.. this reflexive anti AI luddite attitude isn't productive as it's just less signal and more noise..

Your experience of having bad teachers doesn’t negate that the best way we know to enrich kids lives is to have effective and empathetic hum…
