Ok but do you work from home and travel ? spontaneity sounds nice and is amazing but it is a lot easier when you’re already part of some group like a work environment or co working space or church. I do talk to random people from coffee shops but it’s not the same. I think spontaneity comes from having some central environment where you can be spontaneous from. I’ve had that when I’ve lived next door or in the same building as my friends, but the building/neighborhood was still the anchor
Thanks very much! Too bad about Genie :( Curious what about khanmigo felt better than just using chatGPT? I heard they had some problems with factual errors, but maybe have improved since?
All these factors will contribute.
Explosion of tech resources to help caregivers teach kids, most notably, but not limited to chatGPT
Decline in federal funding for schools
Growth in homeschool communities and entrepreneurship by teachers leaving the system (as they develop classes and curriculum in their communities)
Clear benefits of 1-1 mastery learning
Clear benefits to mixed age groups with more time to interact
Clear benefits of more time for self-directed learning
Clear benefits of choosing different curricula and learning plans to suit different children's learnign needs
Pushback on teaching climate change and inclusive curriculum (Black history, LGBTQ+, Indigenous history, etc) leading to mass exist on the left
Rise in government funding for modular learning (ESAs and microgrants)
Rise in remote work (families can travel and be at home with kids; when kids start young they can be independent while parents work)
I don't know what the right web-site would be to "poo poo on LLMs" :) It's here or nowhere, I think. Also, thanks so much for these nuanced reflections on the pedagogy. Super helpful.
