Teachers/Admins are already doing this. I talk to my students about 'phantom excuse' making all the time.
Phantom excuses is what I call it when people justify the lowering of expectations based on reasons that may or may not be true, that stem from stereotypes applied to marginalized groups.

Keep an eye out!
As AI winds down while VC money runs out, they're going to continue following the same failed playbook Web3 used. They'll redirect the focus from big money (companies, entrepreneurs) to marginalized communities.
Prepare to see AI re-spun as a tool to empower women/POC/LGBT.

The secretaries in my school marked a student with an "excused absence" because mom said "it's too cold to wait for the bus".
This is WI, and it's 30 degrees (not below zero) outside.

I love playing video games that occur over the holidays, during the holidays. The one I'm playing this year is 1998's Parasite Eve on PS1. Set in NYC, this action-RPG is an underrated classic.

It's amazing that #cloudflare is down, and therefore so is half the internet, but once it's back up and running nobody will make the argument that maybe 3 companies shouldn't manage the entire internet.
We learned nothing from the #AWS outage last month.
