For a Google-shop district, the AI question isn't which model is smarter. It's whether Workspace gravity and NotebookLM beat a free standalone ChatGPT.

OpenAI isn't the only company giving teachers AI for free. Anthropic's education play — a free K-12 offer plus a paid, partner-rich tier — is the quieter alternative.

AI vendors are funding the union that trains teachers to use their tools. That's a real conflict worth naming — and the safeguards deserve a fair hearing too.

OpenAI is courting teachers with a free workspace while districts ban ChatGPT for students. Is that a contradiction — or two different problems wearing one name?

An Oregon NEA rank-and-file caucus wants an end to what it calls 'AI grift.' Here's what that grassroots pushback represents — and what it doesn't, within a mixed union landscape.

An MIT study found students who used ChatGPT to write essays showed weaker cognitive engagement. Here's what that implies for student use — and why teacher use is a different case.

Major districts banned ChatGPT over integrity and quality fears. Now OpenAI is courting those same districts with free teacher accounts. Are the two positions contradictory?

AI-writing detectors run roughly 80-90% accurate — and most don't publish rates at all. Here's why that's not good enough to be a teacher's primary defense.

Typed decisions come with probabilities, but a threshold is only useful if you've measured it. jevcal, an eval-first jev-mcp and LightJev show how to calibrate and catch drift.

The same Jev pruning idea now exists for Claude Code, Codex, Pi and omp. How each implementation differs, what the READMEs measure, and how thin the evidence still is.

Two open-source tools use Jev to decide which old tool output an agent can forget, keeping originals verbatim. How the pruning pattern works and where it can go wrong.

166 projects use Jev, and most are tiny and unbenchmarked. Here is how to read pinned vs unreviewed entries, star counts and author-tested claims before you adopt one.
