I also had to teach these 7 year olds the three R’s. Reading Riting and Rithmatic.
So we did multilevel teaching, just as the kids learned on many levels.
AI is a great tool to have in the toolbelt. . Teachers and students will both learn how to best use it.
And I’m sure these students will also go on to have 10 jobs, five of which haven’t been invented yet.

An example of how AI is being abused by kids who are clever AND lazy enough to do so. Teacher gives students an assignment. "Read Act IV and Act V of Hamlet, and write two pages, single-spaced, analyzing the dynamic between Horatio and Claudius."
Kid types into the google AI buffer: "Give me two pages, single space, analyzing the dynamic between Horatio and Claudius in Hamlet's Act 4 and 5."
Presses the enter key.
3.5 seconds later, student gets exactly that, perfectly typed, spell- and grammar- checked.
Prints it out, hands it in, gets an A.
Never learns anything about Hamlet. But who cares? The assignment was to submit an analysis, and the teacher got an analysis.
