AI is making school feel obsolete, and parents are starting to notice

The post argues that AI has effectively broken the education system’s ability to measure learning. It cites Chris Camillo saying students are using AI for nearly every assignment and test, from photographing worksheets to getting answers from Gemini.
The core claim is structural rather than anecdotal:
- Parents, not students, have been the enforcement layer keeping school relevant.
- Once parents stop believing in the system, the institution looks increasingly hollow.
- Curriculum changes take years, while AI changes what matters in months.
The author concludes that schools are still operating because there is nowhere else for 50 million U.S. students to spend eight hours a day, not because people still believe the system is working.
