Shout it from the rooftops!!! Research is thinking. Outlining is thinking. Writing is thinking. Any portion of that done by AI is less thinking done by you.

@ColdwaterAD Why isn't Noah Obringer included? He is a junior, 4.0+ GPA, and earned his V letter?

Wharton researchers gave nearly 1,000 high school math students access to ChatGPT during practice problems

Result: chatGPT is the perfect trap.

Look at the red bars.

Students with ChatGPT crushed their practice sessions.

The basic ChatGPT group solved more problems and those on the "tutor" version did even more.

Now look at the gray bars. That's the exam.

No AI allowed.

The ChatGPT group scored 17% worse than kids who practiced with zero technology.

And the fancy tutor version?
No better than working alone.

The researchers called AI a "crutch."

When they analyzed what students actually typed into ChatGPT, most of them just wrote - “What’s the answer?”

The kicker: students who used ChatGPT believed it hadn't hurt their learning.

They were confidently wrong.

This is the AI trap in education.

Outsourcing your thinking.

Of course, lots of half-baked AI literacy curricula being rolled out in schools now

Let’s of course ignore that basic literacy (the ability to read) is possible for <50% of 8th graders

The Ohio Statewide tornado drill took place on March 18, 2026. The Village of Coldwater’s outdoor warning sirens did not activate during the test. The company that inspects and repairs the sirens was contacted immediately. (1 of 2)

Correct.

This is what grade inflation looks like. AP exams suddenly became easier.

So when your local school, district, or state touts record AP participation and passage rates ... now you know why.

📖 Profesores de universidad alertan: el declive en la lectura está afectando al aprendizaje. Financial Times:
Los estudiantes leen menos, se distraen más y tienen dificultades para procesar textos largos o complejos.
La falta de hábito lector limita la comprensión, el pensamiento crítico y la capacidad de análisis https://t.co/DqcqfJulie https://t.co/7JsZVw9cHV

Because of AI, English teachers must make writing assignments in-class and schedule one-to-one instruction in office hours, which means many more English teachers must be hired.

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

In 2008, 62% of teachers said they were very satisfied with their job.

In 2022, that dropped to 12%.

We've got a serious problem brewing in education...

Special Thank You again to the Coldwater Academic Promoters for their yearly gift!! #SeniorSigns2026

[Brian Tolentino M.Ed @TolentinoTeach]

Students need to learn how to sit, think, and write for extended periods.

No phones. No computer.

Just their thoughts, the struggle to organize them, and the clarity that comes from deep focus.

[Brian Tolentino M.Ed @TolentinoTeach]

The American education system is fixated on finding the latest method or system to get students reading and writing.

Unfortunately, no hack exists. Reading is sometimes dull. Writing is often hard.

You can’t entertain yourself to an education.

[Reads with Ravi @readswithravi]

You must read. Read nonfiction. Read fiction. Read history. Read philosophy. Read psychology. Read banned literature. Read poetry. Read about new technology. Read biography. Read memoir. Read on economics. Read on finance. Reread what you have already read. Read. Reflect. Repeat.
