Are you asking for my opinion?

In the coming years, schools will be the social connective tissue where emerging technologies meet timeless human values. Our work as educators will be to ensure that amidst all innovation, we build character, courage, curiosity, and compassion. We must build schools that do not merely prepare children for tests, but for an unknown future with wisdom, adaptability, and moral clarity.

Yes, I fully agree, but we must also not forget why we are here. The development of digitalization is unstoppable, and schools are not prepared for this reality. We find ourselves in a kind of interstitial bubble. Social contact among children remains important. Without it, it is impossible to function in society.

Mine is a hope...there is no humanity in artificial intelligence and not even in the school aimed only at performance and not at human contact. I hope that we touch the bottom and return to the power of the relationship, of dialogue and of the passion of teaching. Machines can think more than humans, but they cannot feel, touch. We need non-technical teachers at school. I hope for ad hoc training.

Thank you for your sincere and thoughtful reflection. Your words deeply resonate with the need to preserve humanity in education. Artificial intelligence may serve as a useful tool to enhance certain processes, but it will never replace the human touch, empathy, or the power of the relationship between teacher and student. If school becomes merely a space for performance, it loses its deeper purpose.

I, too, believe we must return to the essence of pedagogy to dialogue, to trust, and to the passion for teaching and learning. Machines can process information faster than humans, but they cannot experience the joy of shared discovery, they cannot support a child through a difficult moment, nor can they awaken inner motivation through personal example.

The solution does not lie in rejecting technology, but in integrating it thoughtfully and always in service of the educational purpose and the real needs of students. What we need are teachers who are not only technically skilled but above all present as human beings. We need an education that shapes the whole person, not just their performance.

I also fully understand and support your position regarding final theses. Personally, I would be in favor of replacing them with a meaningful project in which a student, working in collaboration with other students, demonstrates both their subject knowledge and their competences. This would eliminate much of the stress associated with writing a work that, in many cases, is simply a repetition of previous tasks and does not genuinely reflect the student's abilities.

A project-based approach would better support deep learning, authentic experience, and the development of skills with long-term value – not only in academia, but also in life and professional practice. Such a model could help transform education into a space for growth, collaboration, and creativity, rather than just formal assessment.
