Studies keep finding that students learn less when they use technology (especially AI) & also that AI has no real benefit for any industry that’s been using it. Why, then, do school administrators keep insisting that we push it on our students?

The thing about working in education is that you will be surrounded by grown men who automatically address each other as “Coach” regardless of whether or not they are actually the coaches of anything.

In my early 20s, I went on a single date with a man who worked as a prison guard (forgive me; I was young & insecure).
I am still haunted by the smug look on his face as he bragged “They told us we can do anything we want to the inmates as long as we yell ‘stop resisting’ while doing it.”

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

I took Dr. Elizabeth Howard’s History of the English Language course at Kent State 25 years ago, & to this day the content & her delivery influence me personally & professionally.
I looked her up this morning w/the intent to reach out & thank her, only to learn she passed away in 2021.
Sigh.

Administrators at my school keep pushing me to use AI to do all of the writing tasks & I’m like SIR, BEING EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD AT DOING THE WRITING TASKS IS WHAT GIVES MY LIFE MEANING.
I am not sorry. This is simply true. Academics should be able to write fluently and express themselves clearly and academics should do their own work. It’s literally our job. It’s what we trained until 22nd grade to do. This is a simple observation that should require no explanation or defense.
I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.

I am also 44, & today despite a regular workout regimen I got out of breath while tying my shoes. Godspeed to this guy.
The Colts will start QB Philip Rivers on Sunday against the Seahawks, sources tell The Insiders.
Age 44, out of retirement, after a full week of practice, Rivers is a go.

The funniest part of this being my husband’s first full winter in Cleveland is him learning snow-related vocabulary like Alberta Clipper, just a dusting, wind chill, blowing & drifting, etc. & it leading to us inventing a game we call Sex Act or Weather Phenomenon.
