Kids are actually not really applying knowledge.

They are acquiring knowledge, but they're not problem solving.

Kids are not reading books anymore.

In a speech at the National Press Club, Weingarten laid out a 10-point plan to help schools navigate what she called a crossroads.

The points include no screens or online tests for kids from pre-K through second grade, no student-facing AI across the elementary school grades, and a total ban on social companion chatbots for students until at least age 16.

Weingarten also called for the creation of an independent research group to study the effects of AI, screens, and technology on students,

and for what she called a tech tax on big tech companies to, quote, pay their fair share for the adverse and disruptive consequences of AI.

So when you get to education, it's like the epitome of taking away opportunity. As you said... The states run schools right now. Localities run schools right now. The federal government, the law that we did in a bipartisan way that we helped shepherd through in the last days of the Obama administration says that the Department of Education
