The Irreplaceable Gift: Why Teachers Matter More Than Ever
In a world where AI can solve equations and write essays, what makes teachers irreplaceable? Your students won't remember your binder system or the quadratic formula, but they'll never forget how you made them feel. While artificial intelligence can deliver content, it cannot look a struggling student in the eye and say "I believe in you." It cannot sense when a quiet kid needs someone to notice them. It cannot do what teachers do best: make young people believe they can achieve the impossible. The Wright brothers might never have invented flight without teachers who instilled confidence in them first. As another school year begins, here's a reminder of your true superpower—and why the human heart of education will never go out of style.
