> AI does a better job than prob 90% of the teachers.

AI is better funded than probably 99.9% of teachers, so ...

Ahem. Go sit in a class sometime before spouting that kind of unsubstantiated claptrap.

Like anything with a distribution, some teachers are subpar. However, 90+% of teachers are trying very hard. They have too many students. They have too few resources. Many of them are fight against bad home lives of the students. And, through it all, they have a bunch of bureaucrats promulgating the latest and greatest bullshit that never works.

We know what works. Small classes (<15 students) with two teachers. This has been documented over and over and over. Nobody wants to pay for it.



My daughter was in highly rated school in NoVa some teachers would pretty much just put on youtube and be done with it. Now in CA again highly rated school just really sad especially compared to the school she was in Ireland. I am not even focusing on teachers that actually don't know the subject they are teaching. I mean teachers that will go into conspiracy theories or just blatantly say I am not in the mood so just basically do whatever.
