the world needs to urgently integrate
courses into every school's ciriculum starting from the age of ten to graduation, repeated yearly. Otherwise we are fucked.
Just teach kids that AI isn’t human and isn’t a replacement for humanity or human interaction of any kind.
It’s clippy with a ginormous database. It’s cold blooded.
Yes, I'm sure you'll be able to convince kids that the new thing is bad because you say so, especially if you compare it to the antiquated mascot of a legacy word processor.
It’s not about it being bad. It’s about expectations and reality. It’s not human. Can’t replace human emotion and thought. Just process data and give analysis.
There is an emotional factor that goes into proper human decision making that is required. Or else half the human population would probably be suggested to be wiped out for some kind of cold, efficiency sake only a machine or psychopath can accept.
Same goes with something like suicide and mental health/human relationships. I don’t trust a machine’s judgment on that.
Spelling too.
Add mandatory therapy and counseling to that list.
Students are already stressed with their curriculum, by addimg these courses you are making them more stressed which increases the risk even more
Replace the less sensical ones like religion classes.
Nobody needs those. If you want to learn more about god and the world, I am sure the (local) church is more than willing to share.
Comparative religions classes have value. It's important to gain understanding into other people's beliefs and to be able to compare and contrast them. If you're only learning about one religion...not so much. Especially if it's the religion you were brought up in.
Going to church, on the other hand, is no substitute at all. You're just being indoctrinated, full stop.
In our school (Germany, BW) we had two types of religion class: Ethics and "regular".
Ethics were for anyone opting out of regular classes (I believe before 14 only with consent of the parents). Regular was split between protestants and catholics. And basically nothing else than talking about the bible and it's stories.
And I can't remember it being anything else than just discussing the stories.
What I heard about ethics class was also nothing like you are suggesting. While it seemed to take a view over every religion (seemingly primarily christian and muslim) it was also about ethics with and between animals and humans.
And afaik the christian classes were with teachers that had theological focus (but afaik not studied)
meanwhile my state is cutting Friday from the curriculum
