I'm a technology proponent, but tech doesn't replace a human teacher when it's 24 students, 1 teacher, and the lesson plan is "open your i-Ready modules."

My 4 kids all use i-Ready. It has real value for reinforcing lessons — but some teachers lean on it as a one-size-fits-all substitute rather than a supplement. That's where it falls apart.

The honest version of AI in education isn't here yet: truly dynamic, personalized lesson paths that adapt to each student in real time. When that exists, the multiple-choice quiz model i-Ready is built on won't be able to compete. The question is just — when does every student get an AI that functions as their own individual teacher?
