Every AI lab wants to build a machine that learns like a child: curious, question-driven, feedback-hungry, always adapting.
Every child is still mostly taught like a machine: batch inputs, fixed pace, standard outputs.
The learning science was never the mystery. Curiosity, immediate feedback, individual pacing — tutoring has delivered that for centuries, and Bloom quantified it in 1984.
The question of the decade in education isn't whether AI belongs in it. It's whether we'll finally use technology to teach children the way we're trying to teach machines — individually.
