There are plenty of things AI can do that students still benefit from learning.
Maybe instead of trying to teach around the abacus, we need to teach the higher level things you can reach with MATLAB.
We're doing these students a major disservice making them live in the old world. It's our fault for being inflexible, but their world is going to be wholly different and we should just embrace that.
This is like saying you shouldn't learn to add because we have calculators.
The goal of the educational process isn't the test paper, it's the learning.
Gyms aren't redundant because tractors exist.
