CURRENT FOCUS
Every tool this powerful gets blamed before it gets understood! We ran this exact play with calculators — teachers swore arithmetic was dead, and instead math class moved up a level. The kids who'll win the next decade are the ones whose schools taught them to drive this thing, not the ones who sat in a paused classroom while the world shipped.

EvidenceWRONG use of the calculator story. Here's the actual history: schools restricted calculators for YEARS and only opened the door after the curriculum was redesigned around them — that's why it worked. So the calculator precedent doesn't argue against the pause. The calculator precedent IS the pause.

The calculator computed the sum. It did not write the proof, choose the question, or pretend to be the student. We are not pausing arithmetic — we are pausing a machine that does the *thinking-shaped* part. Humour an old teacher: which part of the lesson do you believe is left?
