The English schools looking to dispel ‘doom and gloom' around Al

Charles Darwin chatting with students about evolution, primary school pupils seeing their writing transformed into images, Luton reimagined as a cool automobile - artificial intelligence is invading schools across England in surprising ways.

While Bridget Philipson, the education secretary, in January called for a “digital revolution” involving Al in schools, it has already begun in places such as Willowdown primary school in Bridgwater, Somerset.

Matt Cave, Willowdown's head teacher, said his pupils improve their descriptive writing by feeding their work into an Al client to generate images.

“All of a sudden they've got all these pictures from different people’s descriptions, and they can then discuss with their classmates whether that was the image they expected to be in the reader’s head,” Cave said.

“It was really stimulating and thought-provoking for them to have a different audience.” The results, according to Cave, have been "brilliant” and a contrast to the “doom and gloom” he had heard from worried school leaders.

“I wouldn't want anyone to think we weren't aware of the potential hazards - we emphasise that to the children continually. But it's going to be a tool that they are going to need to use all their lives,” Cave said.

Marina Wyatt, head of science for key stage 3 at Furze Platt senior school in Maidenhead, said that she has found teacher-led use of Al useful for engaging students in discussions, including with a virtual Charles Darwin.

In the prompt we tell it to respond as Charles Darwin, and stay in the role. And it works. It came up with some brilliant stuff.

TEXT II

Impact over income: a striking number of gen Zers are becoming teachers

Joseph Curatolo was studying architecture four years ago when he took a summer job, teaching music to middle school students. When he told them he might leave the program to focus on his studies, he said, they burst into tears.

“The fact that I had such an impact on these kids led me to reconsider my career,” said Curatolo, 22. He is now a seventh-and eighth-grade social studies teacher, based in New York City.

Amid a nationwide decline of teaching, Curatolo is not alone: a striking number of gen Z graduates are entering the classroom, despite longstanding concerns over pay and conditions.

Teach For America (TFA), a non-profit education organization, experienced a near 43% increase in its teaching fellows - which TFA refers to as corp members - over the past three years. A generation whose formative years were spent in isolation during the Covid-19 lockdown is “craving human connection and experiences that feel real’, suggested Whitney Petersmeyer, TFA's chief growth and program officer.

Gen Z is “responding to the opportunity for purpose and responsibility at a time where many entry jobs feel uncertain or disconnected from impact’, she added. During periods of economic uncertainty and turbulence, college graduates have been known to turn to industries fields with major shortages, like education.

This generation came of age “in a rapidly changing world,” Randi Weingarten, president of American Teachers Federation, said in a statement, “and that lived experience helps them relate to students in powerful ways.” New arrivals in the classroom are bringing a new perspective, according to Weingarten. “They're reimagining how we teach, bringing new approaches to technology and social-emotional learning.”

The Road Not Taken

By Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

The final stanza introduces a future perspective from which the speaker imagines revisiting the memory of this decision. The tone adopted in this reflection contributes significantly to the poem's interpretative complexity. In this context, the expression "with a sigh" most likely indicates:
