AI in Classrooms Under Fire
Description
Randi Weingarten, head of the American Federation of Teachers, is sounding the alarm on the flood of screens and AI in schools, warning students are drowning in technology—and calling for urgent limits: no computers for kids before third grade, banning student-facing AI and social chatbots for under-16s. She’s not anti-tech, but insists on a smarter balance that prioritizes human connection, critical skills, and real-world learning over digital dependency. Weingarten also critiques Trump-era education policies for ignoring tech risks and enabling tech-company influence, urging a return to fundamentals like communication and teamwork.
