AI: A Fountain of Hope for K-12 Public Schools (From Townhall)

AI is an essential tool to help turn around America’s public schools — which are a mess. With poor test scores and rising preoccupation with non-academic issues, substantial change is needed.

The growth of school choice programs, through low-income scholarships and public charter schools, is providing immediate and substantial help to students. So too can AI.

AI can be used to tutor students individually and obtain quicker assessments of student performance. It can drive faster and better lesson planning.

Additionally, it can bring history and culture lessons to life. Visuals and video-generated content can show what it was like to live in ancient Greece or during colonial America, making history more relatable and relevant. This also sparks curiosity and a thirst for further learning.

Paul Steidler discusses this in an Op-Ed in Townhall here.
