Walked 10 miles.
Thought a lot today about the natural order of things and why it's a good thing that I'm much closer to the end of my teaching career than the beginning. Trying to come to grips with how AI is transforming the world and how my job is to basically prepare young people for a world few of us even remotely comprehend and how I either need to devote lots of time to understanding and using AI in my instruction or go full Luddite and pretend it's still the 20th century. Also struggling to teach the history of this country in light of new realities. Probably best to leave it to bright, young teachers. Sadly, the teaching profession doesn't always attract the most thoughtful people (many high school history teachers haven't read a history book in decades) and many of them seem blissfully unawars - drugged out on tik tok and playing games on their phone.
