South Korea Ghosts AI Textbooks: Teachers Win, Robots Cry
South Korea just gave AI textbooks the ultimate 'you can't sit with us' treatment. The National Assembly stripped AI textbooks of their varsity status and handed them a supplementary participation trophy after teachers complained about being tossed into the deep end without swim lessons. The Korean Federation of Teachers' Associations said "we're not against digital innovation," just the chaos of no prep, which somehow increased their *workload*. Alex Kotran from the US AI Education Project called this rollback 'totally unsurprising' and warned that without "adequate support," AI in classrooms risks becoming a glorified smoke machine rather than an education upgrade.
