       @futurebird Effectiveness in teaching depends on relational capacity. There’s a practical upper bound to how many students a teacher can meaningfully know, names, context, learning patterns. Students also benefit from having multiple trusted adults who know them well. Cost-cutting reforms often overlook these constraints, trading short-term savings for weaker support and outcomes.

       @futurebird That framing reverses causality. Students often appear “easy” because they’ve already benefited from sustained human support. Outsourcing them to AI risks eroding the very conditions that made them low-need. And the triage step itself is nontrivial: reliably detecting “who needs extra” is subtle, contextual, and dynamic, errors there compound harm.

       @futurebird This aligns with well-established findings in education and developmental psychology. Students are highly sensitive to relational signals; perceived abandonment undermines engagement and behavior, while sustained adult attention strengthens motivation, self-regulation, and persistence. Many cases of acting out correlate with unmet relational needs, and improvement often follows once a student experiences consistent care and accountability from a trusted adult.

       @Nonilex Yeah, that’s the part a lot of people miss. Once loans hit default, wage garnishment isn’t hypothetical anymore, it’s an administrative process. And the credit damage often lingers long after payments restart, even if you’re trying to get back on track.
