It's the wrong way.

Really, it comes down to the assessment of mastery.

How do we actually know whether or not somebody has learned that skill?

How do we make sure it sticks in their brain?

Isn't just, I memorized these data points.

I took the quiz.

I dumped those memory points out of my brain and then move on to the next thing.

how do we really teach skills?

That's the biggest challenge right now is educators who are already underpaid and underappreciated and have school classes that are too big are being asked to evolve how they're teaching, fundamentally redesign their courses, and then measure those outcomes in truly significant ways that can then be reported on to the Department of Labor and things like that.

That evolution, teaching online and with technology during COVID, we need to address this the same way.

We need to provide educators the resources they need to involve how they're teaching with AI, with

preparing those students because it's not going away.

And I think those educators that I can opt out, we've had students say, I want to opt out.

You're not going to be able to opt out of AI.

There's a Waymo that just drove past people's houses.

They don't get to say, you don't get to drive past here.

Nope, that automated car is driving down the street.

You're going to be involved with AI at some level and understanding it, embracing it, understanding the ethical aspects of it are really important.

We've talked about those human skills and how important they are.

I will say I'm still a big believer that the degree, the associate degree, the bachelor's degree.
