Secretary of education Linda McMahon keeps calling AI, A1.
Only the best people.
McMahon said she’d heard about “a school system that’s going to start making sure that first graders, or even pre-Ks, have A1 teaching in every year,” which she said was a “wonderful thing.”
But the comment wasn’t just an isolated slip of the tongue. McMahon added, “Kids are sponges. They just absorb everything. It wasn’t all that long ago that it was, ‘We’re going to have internet in our schools!’ Now let’s see A1 and how can that be helpful.”
When the smoke clears, the topic will be seared into the public consciousness. Its a rare opportunity to measure the public’s appetite for such a policy.
Just don’t get her started on the topic of why HP pencils are so important to education.
