Will schools even exist in 10 years? 🤖📚 If AI can teach, assess & adapt faster than we can — what’s left for us to do? Maybe the future of education isn’t about buildings… it’s about belonging, purpose & authentic humanity. 👉 https://t.co/qpglSzHeDy

🎓 Speaking Truth, Teaching Humanity is out. It’s my love letter to progressive education, whole-student learning, and authentic humanity in the age of AI—inspired by my mentor Mr. Lindsey. If this resonates, I’d be honored by a read or a share. 👉

Just saw Speaking Truth, Teaching Humanity featured in Lefty Gomez’s “Top 10 Books on AI” over at DailyKos — honored to be in that company. ➡️ Read it here: Top 10 Books on AI (for educators…) https://t.co/YTP2hinfui

Look, friends: it’s easy to say “just say no” to AI—until you’re staring at a stack of essays you can’t tell apart from bot output, or your district rolls out new tech without you even at the table....

Every student deserves an education. Every person deserves a home. Boarding schools are unique in that they can providing both— and also be a refuge for those seeking it. https://t.co/zNRw6OyCt6

Sadly Anti-Semitism is on the rise. I sit down with my sister, Gwyn Lurie, who reminds listeners that hate has no place in a society that values humanity. She shares stories of her mother, a Holocaust survivor… #tunein #Antisemitism #nohate #Knowledgeispower
