Teachers should not become 'reverse centaurs'.

The education sector must resist ai-capitalism.

"History tells us that when automation is driven by labor, it’s deployed to improve quality, as workers find ways to use new tools to make better things. By contrast, when automation is driven by capital, it is deployed to increase throughput; that is, to make more things (which are often inferior)."

The Human in the Noose: On the Special Hell of Marking an AI’s Homework

Guest column: Author Cory Doctorow explains how your boss's love affair with AI is bad news for you -- and your boss.

^{Cory Doctorow (CNET)}

I'm reopening my fundraising campaign to continue my education before the new academic year begins.

Thanks to your incredible support, I was able to complete my first year at university. I will always be grateful for giving me that chance.

Now, I need your help once again so I can pay my tuition and continue studying English Translation. Education is my hope for a better future and the best way I can build a life for myself and support my family.

A woman who sexually abused a minor. Boxer Mike Tyson, who served time for rape. Both of these people successfully launched private schools that collected public money.

As the voucher system grows more popular, few states have guardrails in place.

Thousands of Private Schools Take Public Money, Operate With Little Scrutiny — ProPublica

As private schools proliferate, states are choosing a hands-off approach to regulating them. The backgrounds of school founders — sometimes with criminal histories — often don’t matter

In 2023, New Mexico’s AG ordered an investigation into one school district after ProPublica and New Mexico In Depth revealed Native students were expelled more often than any other group.

The investigation confirmed “substantial racial disparities.”

#Trump actions signal a move toward #institutionalizing people with #disabilities

For decades, #disabled people have fought for their #rights to go to school & live alongside peers without disabilities — rights that some fear could be losing ground under Trump.

Last month, the Dept of #Education announced it would shift oversight of #SpecialEducation to #HHS, led by #RFKJr, whose comments on disabilities such as autism are 🦇💩.
