What You Can Do
We have the power to fix things
You are not powerless.
Until now, AI companies have been able to sell their tools to schools without much pushback.
As local education budgets are being reduced, school administrators have been looking for ways to make growing classes more effective. Over-worked and under-paid teachers are also looking for things that might help them. AI education companies sell AI as the magic solution to all problems.
