AI is everywhere — except where we’re telling kids they can’t use it.

In this episode of the Just Some BS Podcast, Brandon sits down with Billy Ostroski, school administrator and educator, to unpack the growing tension between education systems trying to restrict AI and a real world that increasingly depends on it.

This isn’t a fear-based conversation. It’s a practical, honest look at what’s actually happening inside schools right now — and why banning AI may be doing more harm than good.

In this episode, they discuss:
 • How schools are currently policing AI use
 • Why AI detectors are unreliable and creating conflict
 • The real risk of students skipping foundational learning
 • Bloom’s Taxonomy — and why it needs to be flipped
 • AI as a think partner vs a shortcut
 • Why “just banning it” doesn’t work
 • How guided use builds critical thinking
 • Parallels between AI and calculators in education
 • What businesses actually want students to know
 • Why reflection matters more than completion

This conversation is for educators, parents, and leaders trying to figure out how to prepare the next generation — without pretending AI is going away.
