Summary
Jeremy Hill handed his Richmond High School students MagicSchool and told them to break it. They couldn't, and that two-week red-team is why teachers across the district trusted the tool enough to let students use it. Hill, MagicSchool's 2025 AI Educator of the Year, joins Jason with two of his tech team members, high school junior Sophia Hill and Wittenberg University sophomore Maren Bolser, for a conversation about what AI in school looks like when students run the show. They get into why university crowds booed AI at graduations this spring, the literacy gap forming before AI has even turned three, and the line between using AI as a thought partner and an answer vending machine. Maren talks about using MagicSchool to work around a learning disability. The group debates the Alpha School model, the bet on Ivy Tech over four-year degrees, and whether Demis Hassabis is right that we're standing in the foothills of the singularity. Hill's closing argument: give the problems to the kids and let them spread the solution.
