Abstract
An old, retired professor is urged by a younger ex-colleague to visit a new consolidated metropolitan school district to learn about new school policies and new technologies. He discovers extensive regional-area use of high-speed trains and autonomous vehicles, artificial intelligence, and 3D printing. The new transport technologies allow all students within a 50 mile radius to get to any school or learning center in the district, optimizing integration by race and class. The AI devices include emotion detecting headbands and new mind-reading headbands in Beta mode, which facilitate rapid advances in learning as well as issues with security and privacy. Extensive use of Internet resources enables the personalization of curricula. Rapid and inexpensive 3D printing supports the rapid and inexpensive building of new tailor-designed facilities. The old professor is both impressed and troubled by what he sees and is surprised to find that his reservations are not shared by the progressive administrators, teachers, parents, or young learners.
