Keep preachin'! I think we need to also reduce the stigma around the word "play". It may be hard to say that you're letting your students PLAY in your AP Calculus class but what you're asking them to do is explore, investigate, draw conclusions, and support their understanding. That's education!

What if we took play as seriously as productivity?
We’d redesign schools for flow, not efficiency.
Measure joy, not just output.
Value exploration over outcomes.
We might just raise more creative, resilient humans instead of compliant ones.

When we minimize play in education, we lose curiosity, creativity, and connection. Learning becomes performative, not authentic. Risk feels dangerous, not generative. Without play, we raise students who comply but rarely question, wonder, or innovate.

Obviously someone doesn't realize or understand the complexity of actual learning or the role of educators. "Childcare"? Couldn't be further off the mark. Let's not even get started on learner agency...
AI in education shouldn't be about replacing teachers or using them for childcare, but empowering them, freeing them from repetitive tasks, letting them focus on what they do best: mentoring, inspiring, and building vital human connections, what we are good at!

Duolingo CEO says AI is a better teacher than humans—but schools will exist ‘because you still need childcare’
Duolingo replaced its contract workers with AI. Now its eyes are set on schools.
