               American schools are under pressure from every direction. Test scores still haven't fully recovered from the pandemic. Teachers are leaving the profession. Budgets are tight and getting tighter. Into that context arrives a technology that promises to save time, personalize learning, and prepare students for an economy that will supposedly demand AI fluency. It's not hard to see why schools are reaching for it.

are largely leaving districts to develop their own policies. Districts are largely leaving teachers to figure it out. And teachers, many of whom received their first real AI training at a Saturday workshop funded by the companies whose products were being demonstrated, are doing the best they can.

               Having a tool that answers your questions patiently and at your own pace has real value. But a lot of what school does isn't about getting the right answer. It's about learning to work with other people, sit with
disagreement, and figure things out in community. That's harder to automate, and probably shouldn't be automated at all.
