As a teacher I have discovered that this is non-negotiable. Kids have an instinct for when they are being abandoned. Being a person who matters means that other people care about you and are willing to spend time on you.
I've seen kids who were acting out, totally lost find the thread again because they discovered that someone cared what happened to them. Someone cares what they do.
That alone will make you want to do better.
In other words they are still trying to reduce "meaningful human contact hours" to make it as objective as possible.
But the "tell" that this isn't a serious proposal? The best schools where the children of the wealthy get their education won't even consider this for a second. We'd stop using paper to save money first, we'd do anything else.
This is only be floated for "other people's kids"
Young people need the time and attention of adults to grow up and learn. Controversial I know.
The people talking about implementing AI in education are saying things that start out sounding sensible until you think.
Most of my students don't need "extra attention" what if the AI could take care of the easy students and I would get the ones who need more nuance?
Well first of all detecting who needs "extra" is subtle. How will you do that?
Second: what if the majority of my students don't need "extra attention"
*because they got real help from supportive teachers previously?*
A teacher needs to know their students to be effective. This puts an upper limit on the number of students one teacher can teach at once. Something like 150 students. I need to know their names, and when I see that name a little about who that is.
Further, a student should have at least 4 or 5 teachers who know them. This is a selection of hopefully trustworthy and supportive adults they can turn to.
Most plans to make school less expensive mess with these numbers.
Understanding that these structures cause sea trash on the beach, sea trash in the sea, and that they are basically abandoned eyesores, like a big abandoned building?
Well of the general public "gets" this these companies won't be able to get away with it as much.
I didn't know this.
When fish farms in Greece are set up they make a "down payment" that can be kept by the government if they don't clean it up. However, it's obviously too small since companies are skipping off and forgetting the payment leaving these people to do the cleaning.
(This is a concrete obvious problem, so lets look around and close this gap where we can.)

"temporarily" ?

I'd suspect a great deal depends on who you'd want to work for. Who could really use your skills in a way that would make the work worth doing... or if you just want to find the highest paying job you can land.
Interview the company right back.

Now I can't stop thinking about the way they are as hard as sand until suddenly all at once they *dissolve*
And there is nothing there but air.

This has to be some kind of trauma response.
More proof that the sock gremlin is real and can be found in any home.
Although this may be the more elusive "warm dry clothing gremlin" judging by the basket.
Science cannot deny this much longer.
She was giving me some vocal criticism about something when I was trying to get a cute photo. I don't think she likes photos.
OK. Exactly what *is* a "wintergreen" ?
"i'd much rather have smoked tofu. i'm not even vegetarian, but the food often has so much more flavour than "i cooked the meat with no spices and nothing added, how is it?"
Same. I'm not veg or vegan but I love vegan dishes, I just wish that it was easier to avoid nuts and sunflowers when eating vegan foods from restaurants or pre-made snacks.
I'm very proud of my home-cooked tofu!
Why is she so MAD?
Sock gremlins are real. #picathecat #catsofmastodon #cryptid #cryptids #creature
"There are also a bunch of things that taste a lot better when you aren't getting enough of something in your regular diet. (Or are just plain hungry, which was more common in former days, or are doing heavy manual labour as a matter of course.)"
This is what I assume all of those recipes from the 50s about putting meat chunks in gelatin are about.
