How High School Should Change for an Era of AI and Robots<\/strong> <\/a>— from edsurge.com by Jeffrey R. Young<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

In other words, we have for the last century and a half in the knowledge economy been educating our students to become repositories of information\u2014whether they’re lawyers or doctors [or engineers] and so forth. And then somebody pays them a great deal of money to extract some of that knowledge from their heads. What’s happening now is that’s being reposited in algorithms increasingly, and that’s only going to be more the case going forward, so that the most intelligent, capable medical diagnostician, I predict, will be a computer somewhere in the next 20 years.<\/p>\n

What is the role of the doctor then? The doctor’s role is to be a knowledgeable interpreter of that algorithmic diagnosis\u2014to check it, to make sure that there wasn’t a snafu, and to make sure that there is no social bias in the outcome. And also to help interpret that into a regimen for treatment and healing on the part of the patient in a human-connected, empathic way.<\/p>\n

And [at Iowa Big], one of the very first questions that one of her teachers asked her was, \u2018What makes you mad?\u2019
\n…
\nThe systems that we have for public education are becoming more rigidified, not more experimental and resilient. And they’re becoming increasingly non-functional. And I believe they’re going to face some sort of systemic collapse.

All Teacher Shortages Are Local, New Research Finds<\/strong> <\/a>— from the74million.org by Kevin Mahnken
\nIn a study released [on 12\/1\/22], researchers show that teacher vacancy levels vary drastically between schools in the same communities<\/em><\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

K-12 teacher shortages \u2014 one of the most disputed questions in education policy today \u2014 are an undeniable reality in some communities, a newly released study indicates. But they are also a hyper-local phenomenon, the authors write, with fully staffed schools existing in close proximity to those that struggle to hire and retain teachers.<\/p>\n

The paper, circulated Thursday through Brown University\u2019s Annenberg Institute for School Reform, uses a combination of survey responses and statewide administrative records from Tennessee to create a framework for identifying how and where teacher shortages emerge.<\/p>\n

Why Are Americans Fleeing Public Schools?<\/strong><\/a> — from washingtonpost.com by John D. Harden and Steven Johnson
\nSeven parents on choosing private education for their kids<\/em><\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

The pandemic transformed the landscape of K-12 education. Some parents withdrew their kids from public school and placed them into private or home schools. Their reasons varied: Many preferred private schools that offered in-person instruction; others distrusted public schools\u2019 pandemic precautions.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not clear whether those trends will stick, and the factors are complex. So far, data show that since 2019, private enrollment is up, public enrollment is down and home schooling has become more popular. Families flocked to private and home schools at the greatest rate in a decade, according to American Community Survey estimates from the U.S. Census. The government projects that K-12 public school enrollment \u2014 already facing\u00a0demographic pressures\u00a0\u2014 will drop further to about 46 million students by fall 2030, according to the National Center for Education Statistics, reversing decades of growth.<\/p>\n
