I already asked my 13 yo how much I could pay her to skip High School graduation. I despise unnecessary ceremonies.

It’s a relic of Illinois having separate K-8 and 9-12 districts. Maybe a touch of compulsory education to age 14 from decades ago so kids could go farm.
We’ve knocked ours down to a 1 hour assembly mid school day.

PS. Keyboarding as a grad requirement is absurd. Keyboarding to save kids future time is 🔥. It might be the most perfect middle school homework/extra time work; they don't need help with it and it's a valuable life skill. 6 hours of practice in a trimester can save 100s of hours later.

If we jump straight from learner -> AI is it helpful in the long run? If we skip CS because "AI can do it?" is it helpful in the long run?

My question about AI is, "What are we going to teach kids to do with it? Would that time be better spent teaching them underlying skills?"
AI in the hands of lay people is Google, Excel, Word on steroids. AI in the hands of experts is infinitely valuable.
