There are some seriously wrong ideas about learning in the corporate world, and seriously wrong ideas about life in general. I present this actual quote from an article as evidence: "I've argued in the past that now is the time to lean into student agency by reframing students as assets." Now I get the point; I've made it many times myself. We don't need to depend on teachers and tech alone to provide learning; students can and should help each other. It's not exactly a new or growing trend; it has been around as long as I can recall. But I've never framed this as a strategy to "lean into student agency" nor to "reframe students as assets". I recognize that this is corporate-speak; I've certainly see enough of it. But the fact that corporates speak this way is what enables them to dehumanize students and employees.
