Honestly, I love the way the school is structured with the exception of the use of Ai. I think that real teachers and subject matter experts could do the same job as the Ai while also being "guides".

Yes, but AI don't join/create unions. They don't have rights. Actually, if human teachers wouldn't demand rights, they'd probably hire them.

That’s why Oklahoma does emergency certifieds! Any bachelor degree gets you in a classroom. You can fail your tests for up to three years, and then usually they’ll extend that deadline anyway! So you get people who can’t get hired to do anything else, and realize that they can just get away with sitting at a desk/ignoring everything they’re supposed to do.

Actual teachers walked out half a decade ago because it’s 60+ hr/week of being a social worker/punching bags. (Fun fact: teachers are exempt from overtime!)
