So... you're saying that a positive learning environment is better than a terrible one? The AI part is ancillary to the scenarios you set up, isn't it?
"AI is better than having the student learn in a terrible learning environment."
"A homeless alcoholic is a better language teacher than having a student learn in a classroom whilst being beaten about the head with a stick."
You're saying AI is better than a bad teacher. Maybe a bad AI is worse than a bad teacher, and maybe a good teacher is better than the best AI. I just don't know how setting up such a comparison is constructive.
That example may be bad, but it's also typical.
What? Teachers hating their subject?
They didn't say "hating their subject". They said "might not like their syllabus", which could just mean they'd prefer a different syllabus.
Huh. My cousin is a professor, and my best friend is a high school teacher. They're both responsible for developing their curriculum. That's only an n=2, but it's 100% that if they (the people I know) hate their curriculum, it's their own damned fault.
