  • A Veteran Teacher Speaks Out: How AI Is Undermining Education
    May 9 2025

    A veteran teacher with 23 years of experience discusses the alarming impact of artificial intelligence in education and how it's creating a generation unable to process or retain knowledge.

    • Knowledge builds like a pyramid, with basic facts forming foundations for more complex understanding
    • Students using AI to complete assignments bypass essential learning processes needed for knowledge retention
    • The ability to recall information from memory is crucial for making connections across different domains
    • Teachers are increasingly using AI to create lessons and grade students' AI-generated work
    • Most students lack the knowledge base to evaluate whether AI-generated content is accurate
    • One-to-one device policies in schools create dependency and reduce students' ability to develop essential skills
    • Screen dependency corresponds with declining handwriting skills and reduced ability to focus
    • Government-controlled AI in education could potentially control what information students receive
    • Parents should limit screen time, encourage reading physical books, and provide outdoor play opportunities
    • Finding communities that share your educational values becomes increasingly important as schools become more technology-dependent

    Take control of your child's education by serving as their project manager and finding resources aligned with your family's values.

  • Uncovering the CDC's Mental Health Strategies for Schools - Episode 153
    Dec 6 2024

    The agenda to push mental health into schools should be a top concern for all Americans, regardless of if you have children in school.

    Today we're taking a look at a recent social media campaign by the CDC to push for mental health strategies in school.

    One of the biggest issues with mental health care in schools is the circumventing of the parents. In many states, children over a certain age, usually around age thirteen, the children can get mental health care without parental consent. It's critical that parents are involved in the health care and the mental health care of their children.

    Parents have a right and a duty to be involved with the care of their children. The push for mental health care in the government education system is one of the biggest ways that the government is overstepping their bounds and circumventing parental rights. And in many states, many of these deep blue states, Washington, Maine, New York, they are actually making it so that parents don't even get notified about this. In Washington state, parents can't even get their child's mental health records.

    So why is the government so intent on withholding mental health information from parents? Because they're doing something that they want to hide.
