my drafts always fall apart and the fourth wall shatters as soon as I try to wedge in a bit more of my research just because I think it’s cool…. It’s so sad that my audience doesn’t want to do a deep dive on say, the Parisian sewer system (lol)

not sure how to feel, except mildly inconvenienced by the extra ten seconds. I suppose it is summer in the village.

Educators, you have to resist AI. That includes LLMs for "research" as well as AI classroom assistants. Advocate for admin to spend that money on your classrooms, not by handing it over to some weird tech bro who wants to buy another yacht.

Which leads me to five, the thing I keep saying: AI can't do our jobs as educators, but it *can* replace us. AI teaching assistants can mimick teaching (if you don't care about quality or long term consequences for those students), but that's enough to replace us. Any excuse to cut spending.

Four, your whole job as a teacher is to...teach. That means understanding your students and doing what you can so they leave your classroom with more knowledge than they entered it. Farming out the teaching doesn't make you a better teacher. It makes you expendable.

Three, you don't engage students by hyper-personalizing the content. You engage them through interesting activities and getting them to use their brains. Anyone who has taught even briefly knows this.

“It’s not what good girls do” would be a great little epigraph for an essay… hmmm.
