Sometimes I marvel at the degree to which tech bros fundamentally don’t understand teaching & learning. It’s grounded on give & take. Teacher & student learning from each other as they go—progressing towards knowledge. You can’t teach from a script. Well…you can. But that’s not really teaching.

Honestly, I would be livid if my kids teachers were mandated to teach from a script. The educational software trend was bad enough, but I can't imagine how fast kids and teens would completely check out if a teacher wasn't reacting to the actual classroom dynamics but following a formula!
