AI can write essays, solve problems, and produce polished work in seconds. But does that mean our children no longer need to learn how to do those things themselves?

Andrew Pudewa, founder of the Institute for Excellence in Writing, joins Davies Owens to explore a question that goes far beyond classroom technology: What is education actually for?

Together, they discuss how learning shapes our capacity for attention, memory, perseverance, and wisdom. Andrew explains why the process of doing difficult things matters, how music and meaningful responsibility help form character, and why children need opportunities to engage deeply with the real world.

Rather than rejecting technology altogether, this conversation invites parents and educators to consider how we can use modern tools without surrendering the experiences that help children become fully human.
