Yes the problem isn't so much ed-tech, which by the way we all use everytime we Google or ChatGPT how to do something.
The problem is that ed-tech is being shoehorned into an existing dysfunctional system. It's trying to help the education system do more of what it was already doing, just with computers.
The underlying problem is that the structure of the education system is absolutely stupid and shit. We've just been so used to that for so long that we don't notice it anymore.
If schooling was good, ed-tech would be a big enabler of that, helping students learn at their own pace, guiding their coursework in the right direction, linking it to career paths, all kinds of things.
But currently ed-tech is just enabling and feeding more of the same slop, just digital instead of paper. That's the problem.
