I do wonder if "prompt engineering" might help a few people to learn better teaching and explanation. When a child fails to understand what's written in a textbook, you can blame the child. When an AI fails to understand you, you have to actually rewrite the prompt.
my key strategy is to think of LLMs as having a limited "depth" they can think at they can spend that depth either puzzling out your prompt or solving your problem your job is to hand them a prompt on a silver platter, so that they use all the depth to solve your problem

You cannot get educated by this self-propagating system in which people study to pass exams, and teach others to pass exams, but nobody knows anything. You learn something by doing it yourself, by asking questions, by thinking, and by experimenting.
