Oooh your chatbot is becoming sentient and may pose a threat to humanity? Should we throw a party? Should we invite all your most gullible investors?

Thanks for sharing this document,
@rweingarten.bsky.social
. I read it, and I believe it's inexcusably inadequate and will not prepare teachers or schools to confront the very real dangers of the "A.i." products pushed by your partners, including OpenAI. A few thoughts for your consideration...

Parents & teachers should know that I-Ready lessons are NOT mandated, no matter what your principal may be telling you. And there is NO independent research to support the educational value of this app.

I'm here for the growing caregiver resistance to ed-tech, a movement pushing back against scenes like this: "itâs now normal to walk into a classroom and see all the students staring at devices with headphones on [while completing i-Ready lessons] and no direct teaching or conversation occurring."

This is our community's letter!! It was written by Josie Morway, a local artist and parent. After we started asking questions, the district slowed way down and starting holding forums, creating workgroups, and taking student privacy more seriously. Talk to us if you want to do the same!
