How AI is affecting the way kids learn to read and write

As always though, "technology is ruining the kids" is actually cover for "our policies are ruining the kids, let's blame technology!"

Am I saying AI should teach kids? Hell no, but this is a distraction. The article, via the teacher herself, outright states the problems. One, she has no time or motivation to work with the kids individually so she relies on tech to get more done. Two, this is because she's teaching 160 students. Three, and that is because we've slashed education funding to practically nothing. And with DOGE destroying the DOE it seems now we'll be educating the children with literally nothing.

This isn't an AI problem. It's a "we don't give a fuck about children or the future" problem.
