This personal waterfall shows you all of Ehawkins's arguments, looking across every debate.

Which classes are getting cut in order to teach the "stupid" people. Are we getting rid of Calc or college-level classes? What goes first because schools aren't getting more money, or in order to add these things, something has to go. What will it be? Sports? Activities?

Where does this notion of life skills end? If students are "pretty dumb", are teachers going to be teaching how to brush teeth or put on socks? Is there an end in sight if schools much teach all life skills. Also, when does it come down to the person learning how to do something on their own?

You're not wrong. It does make it easier to turn things it, but is the act of returning an assignment learning?

You bring up a good point, AI has brought a lot to our community. In your ideal future, are we also replacing doctors with technology? Where does this end because to learn most things, it required education. Is everything supposed to be self-driven learning? Who grades? It is going to be self-graded as well? If so, will be have lawyers who passed the bar because "they deserve it"?

Is voting your heart ever a wasted vote? Ranked choice just always the government to steal another election.

When is self discipline and responsibility part of life? Is it always someone else's fault when you don't know how to do sometthing?

So, it's the school's problem when parents don't parent? Where does it end then? What "life lessons" are the most important to learn? Who is the arbiter of that? Is this supposed to be in a regular class, or is the school supposed to pay more money?

What "stuff" should they learn? it's a big ask of the public education system to teach students everything. Where does it end?

Failing as a parent is one thing but expecting the school to go beyond teaching equations and grammar is another. Putting life applicable lessons together is something all teachers should strive for. Students won't remember the color of the light at the end of Gatsby's dock if they don't connect it to something bigger.

If teachers are teaching things that can be easily accessible online then what are they really teaching? Critical thinking cannot be copy and pasted. Isn't that more important than being able regurgitate random facts?

Yes, you can take classes from your home, but you can also cheat at home too. How do you know who is doing what? Zoom was useful when people couldn't get together. If people can be together, why do we need it now? Also, if technology is better than the classroom, what is the need for school?

Don't people stare at screens for their jobs? So, are you arguing that air traffic controllers are slowing down in their abilities to do their job because they are staring at screens? What common sense does the internet slow down? Doesn't it teach you to search and find rather than just be a memorization machine?
