My mom's a teacher, so I've learned an important part in the USA is also making sure the kids that want to stab other kids with scissors, are physically restrained so as to not do so.
I get we're thinking "higher level" here, like oh cool one day AI will replace radiologists (handwave over how we get the patient to sit on the table for an xray and roll this way and that, and whatever else), but there's far more, to me, "interesting" problems to be solved in this nitty gritty area, and I think the effects here will be more actual in people's lives - that is to say, I think more likely to actually improve material conditions.
Is there a way to leverage AI in this state, to wrench the bureaucratic nightmare that is the American education system, into a position where it doesn't do things like lump together highly special needs kids with more "normal" kids? To somehow leverage congress and local governments into directing more resources to deathly underfunded school districts?
