The other side to this is that, and this is actually something from Ken Robinson, again, he says, there are no good schools.

There are only good teachers.

And he says, and what do most teachers spend their time on?

Grading homework, doing administration, all these kind of things that actually have nothing to do with education.

So that seems to me like a standard technology solution problem.

And whether you solve that with AI or whether you solve that with just some simple SQL, fine.

That doesn't really matter.

I believe there should be a lot more support for teachers such that they can focus on things that is important.

Individual interaction.

between a teacher and a student has so much more impact than the teacher just standing in front of the class.

Ted tells this wonderful story.

He's a teacher and he tells his story that he's giving drawing lesson.

And there's always this one girl in the back of the class that is never interested in anything.

But now the drawing lessons, and she's fanatic.

So he goes to the back of the class and looks at what she's doing.

And he says, what's she doing?

And she says, I'm drawing God.

And he says, but nobody knows how God looks like.

And she looks at him and she says, but in a minute they will.

That's funny.
