This is an approach I can get behind: "instead of viewing students primarily as future economic assets, our approach is grounded in the Education for Human Flourishing framework, integrating arts, Socratic AI, and the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to nurture the 'whole person' in an increasingly automated world." The Readco.ai framework includes five major elements: "adaptive problem-solving; ethical competency; interpreting the world; appreciating the world; and acting in the world." Now to be sure, I might have a different list, and I'd word them differently, but this is much better than thinking of people as economic units.
