we clearly disagree on many things.

People from EU already have residency in Norway, and some are not planning to stay there permanently.

One reason to avoid native language (outside of waste of time), is to avoid Barnevernet. It is much harder to take child away from parents, into permament Norwegian foster care, if it does not even speak local language.

So let me see if I get this: we need AI in Norwegian schools so immigrants don’t have to learn Norwegian or English, or else child protective services will take away their children?

It isn’t so much that you and I disagree. It is more that you disagree with reality. To the extent you are aware of reality.

> or English

I never said english, just Norwegian. Many people are fine with english only education, but goverment will still demand Norwegian lessons.

> we need AI in Norwegian schools so immigrants don’t have to learn

No, you need AI so kids who do not speak Norwegian, can learn to read and write. It is more important than forcing them into Norwegian first.

AI also comes to spotlight with homeschooling.

> else child protective services will take away their children

Yes!? I admit my informations are precovid, perhaps it is different now (at least the economy in Poland is much stronger, and there is less incentive to work in Norway). But Barnevernet has horrible reputation in Poland.

Common legal advice (when one of the parents works in Norway) is to avoid ties to Norway when it comes to kids, not to establish long term residency for kids (rotate kids every second semester and holidays back to Poland), avoid norwegian language...

It is much harder for Barnevernet to pull their stunt, if you do not give up Polish residency!

You offer no concrete explanation of how AI will magically remove the language barrier. Have you ever taught a class? How, in practice would you make language go away? In concrete terms. Exactly how do you envision interaction between teacher and student and between students happening? Again, in plain practical terms that can be implemented easily?

Teaching isn’t just about delivering a monologue. Even at university level. It is about connecting and interacting with people. Or else people would derive no more benefit from education than simply reading a list of curriculum books and hand in papers.

How do you envision that this plays out, right now, with AI, when teaching at a K-12 and high school level? Which is much more demanding because you are doing far more than just throwing knowledge and facts at people.

You don’t know what you are talking about which makes you invent fantasies that have no contact with concrete, observable reality. But rather than realize that you are talking nonsense and perhaps educate yourself and think things through, you just carry on.

Again, look at what the original post was about, and what corner you have painted yourself into. Did you, at any point, ask yourself if you had gone off the rails somewhere?

Some sort of teacher avatar. Works great for teaching english in china. And we had this during covid. I can write one in a weekend, easy.

> between students happening?

How about playing football or other physical activities?

> Which is much more demanding because you are doing far more than just throwing knowledge and facts at people

It is demanding only because single teacher has to manage 20 kids. With individual tutor, kids can teach much faster, and have more for socializing.

I dated a girl via google translate, worked pretty well.
