What are we even talking about here? It seems like we are totally different discussions.

You said "why not use the tools available?"

The answer is "sometimes the new fancy tools are bad, and it can take decades to confirm that".

Yes, thank you for extrapolating my comment into a massive over generalization. I guess I'll leave you to your books and pencils while I go actually explore the massive world around me to see what works and what doesn't.

		Schoolkids aren't Drosophila, with ~10 day reproductive cycles and disposable at the end of the experiment. Experiments take years/decades, have loads of confounding variables, and you can wreck a generation or two if you go too far down the wrong route too quickly. AI in schools may be useful! It may be horribly bad. It'll be a while before we know.
