  Speaker 1: We got a full question for American mama's. Dear mama's,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: are schools doing enough to prepare kids today for college?
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Let's ask are American mama's mama mama?
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: She said?
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: And joining us now are American mama's Terry Edville and
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Kimberly Burlison. So there's been a story of a girl
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: who graduated with like three point eight seven GPA and
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: she gets to college and she realizes when she gets
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: to college, she's practically illiterate. And so she's sued the
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: school district that she went to high school for saying,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: you guys said you were teaching me, but I don't
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: know anything.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Is this is?
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: She feels like, I guess she had a three point
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: eighty seven. Yeah, And the family is arguing that the
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: issue that the district issued a meaningless diploma that stripped
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: her of her free trend additional vocational services intended for students.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: And I just thought, so, I think this is a
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: real problem. I think our students today are being dumbed
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: down because they are cheating so much. And the crazy
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: thing about the kids, I'm talking my own kids, I'm
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: talking my nieces, nephews. It is so talked about as
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: if it's very common to cheat because of AI, because
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: they're using AI to cheat. But it's like when if
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: we ever cheated, it was like hush, hush, you know,
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: I wrote in the tiniest print ever on a piece
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: of paper that I hid. These kids are now openly
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: talking about how they cheated and the way. It's just
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: not even a thing anymore that I'm afraid that we've
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: got too many dumb people being churned out of our schools.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Well, because you don't even have to be smart to
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: cheat now. I mean, back back in our day, if
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: you were cheating, you actually had to go through a
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: whole bunch of effort and intelligence to be able.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Yes she did, But Stephen, it's even in college. So
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: I don't think these diplomas are going to mean anything.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: And it almost scares me for certain professions that they're
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: that they're very important that you have a degree in it.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: It scares me for the kind of people that they're
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: turning out there, whether it's you know, attorney, your doctor
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: or whatever, where it's very important that you know what
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: you're talking about.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: I don't think that you can cheat in those particular
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: That's what I was thinking earlier is when when it
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: comes to medicine, pharmacy, nursing, it's a whole different thing.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: You cannot cheat because they're grading you, they're watching you.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: You have to use critical thinking. And that's what's lost
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: in all of this. We had to learn critical thinking.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: We had to figure out things that we felt were
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: unfigure outable, you know well.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: And problem solving. I mean, there was when you got
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: a report and all of your classes you had to
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: do a report, right, and they went, Okay, here's your topic.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Go to the library and figure it out, right, And
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the teachers like and leave me alone, right, But you
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: go to the here's the Yeah, go figure it out. Yes,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: you will be judged on how well you figure this
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: out pretty much on your own. Right.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: There's something romantic to if you go back to that time,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: in that era when you're in the library and you
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: have like four or five books you know, all around
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: you because you've had to go through and discover. There's
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: something about the image of that that kind of makes
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: me sad that we don't have it. It's such a
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: sense of accomplished Yes, yes, and I think nowadays, like
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you this, a friend of mine an acquaintance
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: her boyfriend. She read me this poem that he wrote.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: It was I said, my god, that's that's outstanding, Like
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: that's incredible. She said, well, all he did was he
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: put in these traits that he feels about me. He
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: put it into AI, and AI came out with this
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: perfect He said, this is exactly how he feels. And
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: as somebody who writes poems, I'm like, oh, that's all
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: you have to do. It's like, this is what I love.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: That's why all these songs, you know, right now they
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: have all of these songs that are coming out and
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: they're going number one. Yeah, AI their AI and the
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: sound is great. They have a picture of like this
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: guy and you're like, I want to go see him
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: in concert. He sounds amazing. He's bluegrass, but he's also
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: this it's AI. He doesn't exists. So what the kids
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: are doing I think now there's they've got courses where
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: they can teach children how to use AI to to
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: their benefit, but not rely on it for critical thinking.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: So they've had to learn how to go around it
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: because it's there. So now we have teachers in high
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: school and college who are having to actually do courses on.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: This is how you're going to utilize it.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: This freaks me out because if you don't have AI,
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: let's say grid goes down, you can't access internet or
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: what are we left with a bunch of people that
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: are stupid, that don't know what to do, how to
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: do anything well.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: And ultimately, the way you make a living And I
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: don't know if we've taught enough people this the way
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: you make a living is you make yourself valuable to
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: someone else. You've got to find a way to provide
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: a service to other people that is valuable to them
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: so they are willing to pay you money. This is
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: how the market system works.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: And this is why there's an uptick in a lot
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: of the plumbers, electricians, a little trade vocational trade schools.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: It's an uptick because AI cannot come in and do
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: a plumber's job.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: But if you are relied on AI to get through
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: high school, what skills do you have that will make
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: you more valuable to someone else than AI is if
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: you haven't learned how to try to do anything, even
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: trade school. You know, at some point in trade school
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: you have to learn how to do something. If you don't,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: if you're cheating your way all the way through and
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: schools are allowing it. How are you going to live?
