The Witch by Marie NDiaye — A Book Review
Translated from the French by Jordan Stump I really wanted to like The Witch by Marie NDiaye. Unfortunately, despite an interesting premise, I found the novella largely unengaging. The story centers on Lucie, a woman with rather unimpressive witchcraft abilities. Her mother possesses considerable power but rarely uses it, while Lucie’s twin daughters, whom she…

Ignoring AI Won’t Protect Our Students
I taught high school English for nearly twenty years. I know firsthand how difficult teaching can be.

I also know that most…

Published in June 2024, the book explores nine principles of leadership in the age of AI: learning, purpose,…

Driven by Mason Coile – A Book Review
I have mixed feelings about Driven by Mason Coile, but one thing I can say without hesitation is that it moves. Short chapters, lean writing, and a plot that rarely slows down made this a quick read. I especially enjoyed the first third of the book. Jamie Newcross is a man whose life has steadily…

AI Is Not Better Than Us
I’m a big proponent of artificial intelligence. I use it regularly. I teach others how to use it. I believe it has enormous potential to change the way we work, learn, create, and solve problems. But I don’t want to call it “Super Intelligence.” The president recently announced his preference for replacing “artificial intelligence” with…

We Assume AI Replacing Workers Is Inevitable
We spend a lot of time worrying that artificial intelligence is going to take our jobs. But AI can’t fire anyone. People can. That distinction seems strangely absent from much of the conversation surrounding AI and employment. We talk about automation as though it is a force of nature, something that will simply happen to…
