Is your girlfriend secondary or primary, if you don't mind? Our secondary programs in the region have a lot of AI vendor and software money flowing into them yet like you I see them (the teachers, not the AI) crafting lesson plans and

Can’t believe Cabinet is still around. Issue 8’s “bang the keys swiftly” (2002) is still one of my favorite articles re: media history

As a style, slop is starting to settle into an aesthetic effect that's hard to find a word for, but "twee" is getting close. Anyway I can't read more than a paragraph of this crap before bailing now, it's like an al

>is rather stigmatising Oh you went with the "rather" instead of the "quite" that's interesting. Anyway if vegans want to say "I am vegan" you'd profit from taking just a second to ask yourself why

"Instead of a lemonade stand, parents should have their children try to make pastries, which is more amenable to an early-career pastry empire" is one of the more stupid propositions in here (and there's competition), but my

"It’s not that the engineers are getting slower: it’s that every new button has to coexist with all the previous buttons." I thought it might be intentional though? The first half reads very non-slop, and it just kind of inches it

I'd like to add that "DEI" is, in this administrative environment, often reduced to a collection of terms searched for and flagged without regard for context. Such that "diversity" might be flagged in a grant applic

Perhaps better than "if I don't like it, it deserves to have its funding cut"

They seem like entirely different things to me, in the sense that I wouldn’t expect a writer, or a baker, or a chef to have typical ethical behaviors as a group. Shouldn't you? Bakers and chefs aren't just "interested in ne

I'm definitely on the "it's the devices" train, but reading instruction in school in the US after high school really breaks students into an absolute exhaustion with the practice. Not to mention they're still readin

Why wouldn't the political coalition of teachers not be a "real" teacher-related reason? It is not illegal, at this point in time, for teachers to oppose AI for political reasons. As others note, there are a lot of reasons fo
