Worst of all, gym classes are making them run miles an Uber could cover in less than a minute.
We are sending our kids to school to memorize facts that AI can retrieve in 0.3 seconds.
We're grading them on essays that AI writes better than their teachers.
We're preparing them for jobs that won't exist by the time they graduate.
The entire education system is training humans to compete with machines at what machines do best.
That's not education. That's sabotage.
The schools that survive will teach thinking, not memorizing. Creating, not repeating. Discerning, not obeying.
Every other school is a museum that doesn't know it yet.

I just made a curry & the recipe called for '5 potatoes, cubed'.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but 125 potatoes seems a wee bit excessive... 🤭

@HYWEL_ROBERTS and I have written a free guide to implementing botheredness. It's about how to get kids really invested in their learning - by design.

I finally managed to get a front row seat to listen to @HYWEL_ROBERTS He’s every bit as brilliant as they* say he is. Book him for PD if you can. You won’t be disappointed #botheredness

In 1989, I started my first full-time job at a chemical factory in #eastridingofyorkshire . I only lasted 6 months before I was sacked for incompetence! Still, it was nice to see the old place again yesterday😏😅
