Whats the alternative? A lot of kids are left behind in the current education system. It happens on both ends. Kids that don't get it just get pushed through the system. That's why you have schools with <20% reading proficiency and <50% math proficiency but >95% graduation rates [0]. Do you think an 10th grade English teacher is going to stop his class to teach kids how to read?
It happens on the upper end of course and smart kids end up building bombs because they're bored [1]
AI tutors would be a huge benefit and allow people to explore the topics they're interested. Maybe a kid isn't so interested in historical battles but is more interested in the clothing people wore at the time. Or someone else might be interested in something completely different. The breadth of LLMs is a real killer feature for creativity and exploration. I think this would result in the opposite of cookie cutter as the current system where 30 kids sit in a room and study the same thing produces cookie cutter individuals, albeit extremely poorly as many don't learn anything
