This new study shows: in Germany, it has become much harder for children to earn more than their parents, now about as hard as in the US: "parental income has become much more important for educational outcomes of children"

New podcast ep! Leon Furze argues that “lesson planning” is a dynamic act of design and reflection, yet AI platforms keep packaging it as a downloadable product: click a button, get a plan. That noun‑based mindset deprofessionalises teachers. #artificialintelligence #aieducation

Lesson planning is a verb: why does tech keep treating it as a noun?

Leon Furze argues that “lesson planning” is a dynamic act of design and reflection, yet AI platforms from Google, Microsoft and start‑ups like Magic School keep packaging it as a downloadable product: click a button, get a plan. That noun‑based mindset, he says, feeds compliance paperwork and short‑cuts the messy thinking, collegial dialogue and classroom experimentation that turn curriculum into learning.

Ja, das Interview ist symptomatisch: Deutschland transformiert sich gerade von der liberalen in die #elektoraleDemokratie. Der gefühlte Mehrheitswille sticht diskursiv rechtsstaatliche Prinzipien.
