Two schools of thought about school

One kind of school is about culture, compliance and community. We indoctrinate kids, for better or worse, in what it means to be in this world we’ve built, and how to do it together. We teach them how to be kids, how to be citizens and hopefully, how to be adults.

And the other kind of school is about the content. All the ‘R’s. The software that goes with the operating system we taught in the other school.

For obvious reasons, these have always been integrated.

Now that Socratic and infinitely patient and customizable AI tutors are everywhere, perhaps it makes sense to consider each separately. Let’s not compromise either on the behalf of the other.
