Summary
Educator and entrepreneur Don Wettrick reflects on decades in the classroom and what schools must change as AI reshapes learning and work. He shares why students should be taught to see problems as opportunities, how AI can widen the gap between haves and have-nots, and why grit, discernment and real-world creation matter more than grades. The conversation also looks at innovation centers in schools, preparing students for a workforce with fewer entry-level jobs, and helping young people move from consuming content to building something meaningful.
