Should Students Use AI in School? Preparing for the Future

We discuss whether students should be using artificial intelligence in school. While some believe AI helps learning and others worry it enables students to avoid learning, the reality is that AI isn't going away. We explore how schools should prepare students to use AI responsibly, since they'll likely encounter it in healthcare, business, manufacturing, technology, and skilled trades after graduation. The key question is whether schools should teach responsible AI use or restrict it in the classroom.

Understanding What Your School Board Actually Does

I discuss the important role of school boards and why their elections matter. We talk about how school boards shape district direction by establishing policies, approving budgets, hiring superintendents, and guiding long-term priorities. I explain how these decisions impact academics, finances, accountability, and ultimately affect students, families, and our community. I emphasize the importance of informed involvement and ask viewers what they think school boards should focus on over the next five years.

Do You Feel Heard on Education? Building Stronger Community Conversations

I discuss whether people feel heard when it comes to education in our schools and how we can build stronger conversations together as a community. I share my takeaway that while different perspectives may not always agree, listening, staying informed, and showing up still matter when it comes to shaping our schools and communities.

Did Michigan Get Cell Phone Policies in Schools Right?

We discuss Michigan’s approach to cell phone policies in schools and explore the ongoing debate about finding the right balance. We examine arguments from both sides—those who believe stricter limits improve focus and classroom culture, and those who emphasize phones’ importance for communication and safety. We emphasize that the real conversation isn’t about phones or no phones, but about creating practical policies that support learning while remaining realistic for students, teachers, and families. We highlight how classroom culture matters and how the policies we create help shape that environment.
