A speaker discusses using technology (e.g., AI) constructively in education: allowing students to request feedback by asking a model to grade and critique their work, while cautioning against over-reliance that removes productive struggle and impedes learning. The speaker frames technology as a time-saver and coaching tool but warns that avoiding difficulty entirely creates other long-term problems.

Have open communications about technology and how it plays a role in our day to day my kids. I'm like, look, do not use it to write your papers. Don't cheat, don't get the right. But I've shown them you can put your paper into it and say I'm an 11th grader and this is the assignment. Tell me what grade you would give me and give me critical feedback. That's cool. So you get a free teacher review on it. To me, that's a great way to use it and then go do the work. If you're not playing with that, you're really missing out on some, some opportunities there to save some time. But also on the flip side, look, if we remove struggle, if we remove difficulty, like we will have all kinds of other problems. Like I, I'm far enough in my career, I don't want to do some of the crap work now like. But if you never have to do anything hard, that's going to have a whole bunch of other implications. Oh yeah, it'll just introduce other hard things will just show up in your lap.
