And, of course, the solution proposed is to bring more AI and "AI literacy" even though:

"Still, 40% of the more than 2,000 teachers polled say they don't use AI at all. And more than half believe weekly use of AI by students would decrease their ability to think independently and critically."

"Another recent survey by Gallup, the Walton Family Foundation and GSV Ventures found that nearly half of Generation Z students think AI will hurt their ability to think about information carefully."

I call BS. The school that the article mentions is in Katy Independent School District, one of the largest and wealthiest school districts in Texas.

If they don't have better PCs then its likely b/c they want their children to learn to use books, paper and pen before computers.
