@sigwo@sgfcitizen I say this because the National Center for Education Statistics’ data suggests there were about 450 full time teachers and 260 other accredited staff (such as instructional aides and guidance counselors) at Nixa Public Schools alone in 2024-2025. Thank you for the question.
@sigwo@sgfcitizen Hi, I’m Zoe. There are more than 1,000 people employed at each of the two biggest districts in the county, according to data I received from Show Me Christian County. Although I didn’t report on the number of teachers in the newsletter, I believe there are more than 450. :)
@dystopiangf It’s the anti-intellectual prayer that AI feeds into: nothing we see is true, and if it is true we can’t know it, and if we do know it then why does it matter anyway?
@dystopiangf Gen AI could also force people to become more dedicated truth-seekers — but only if people become passionate about knowing truth again. Post-truth society and the dead Internet are doing a number on young people.
