Comment on Duolingo CEO says AI is a better teacher than humans—but schools will exist ‘because you still need childcare’

As someone who has actually been in a classroom and dealt with 20 kids—fuck off CEO with no real experience dealing with people.

Personalities, learning types, inequity, and so much more contribute to how people learn. A computer program cannot account for this. Also, what are you going to do when a kid doesn’t want to learn from a computer? Strap them down, force their hands on a keyboard, and shock them if they move or visit a program/site that isn’t what you want in that moment of teaching?

Good. Fucking. Luck.
