For some of the classes my kids were in, the lessons and homework time were reversed. Learning the material (using the text book and videos) was what they had to do at night and class time was spent working through problems or applying the material in some way.

Interesting. Ages?

Flipped classroom method?

I actually think having a single source of truth would not be terrible. Let me explain. All podiatrists are not the same. All physicians in their specialties are often specializing in their own niche and are up-to-date on that niche. I've had lisfranc ligament injury. My podiatrist wanted to perform a surgery quickly, which in 90% of cases is advised. I decided to seek a 2nd opinion because I realized she did the X-r…

It may be a rough start but over time the gene pool will adapt and the human race will live harmoniously with the machines (sorry, with the GPUs). Plus our insurance premiums should finally go down.

While I am not 100% opposed to this idea, it should come with liability to the provider AND its error rate be better than best human doctors.

The replacement is students maturing into functional adults who learn they must study to pass exams, not to treat them like babies.

> The replacement is students maturing into functional adults By what means? Have you got a magic wand that will turn 3rd graders into mature functional adults who will study on their own without homework?

I’m talking about university students. I don’t think I third graders are turning into functional adults any time soon.

Okay, but this article isn't about that:

This was probably middle school.

Flipped classroom was a popular method when I was teaching math. Some students found it very helpful. The trouble was getting the students to do the reading before class. If students came in unprepared they struggled to keep up.

Yes! I didn't know it had a name but a quick googling confirms what you said.
