- Praise: I'm glad to see more of this approach to modernizing education; clinging to outdated methods in the face of AI is just plain naive.
- Praise: Instruction needs to shift to accommodate AI rather than preventing it; it's time to benchmark real skills and collaboration over rote memorization.
- Concern: The idea of co-creating a contract seems optimistic, but it won't matter to the stressed 10-20% who will ignore it like any other rule.
- Concern: Some argue that without a solid foundation of knowledge, project work won't lead to true understanding or creativity.
