AI Can Write Essays Instantly — Here's Why Kids Still Need to Think for Themselves

Gleisdorf – September 13, 2026 -- Artificial intelligence can now solve homework, write full essays, and answer complex questions within seconds, prompting education economist Ludger Wößmann to warn that children risk losing the motivation to build knowledge on their own.

Basic literacy and math remain non-negotiable, expert says

Wößmann argues that reading, writing, and arithmetic are becoming more important, not less, in the AI era. Without solid language skills, a child cannot judge the quality of an AI-generated text. Without foundational knowledge, they cannot critically evaluate an AI's answer or even know which questions to ask.

Divorce Coaches: Respect, Not Contracts, Prevents Custody Battles

Aßlar – September 13, 2026 -- Relationship coaches Jonathan Makkonen and Janine Förster argue that a respectful breakup starts long before any divorce paperwork is filed, not after it. The pair, founders of coaching practice Das Relationship, say the decisions couples make during a healthy relationship determine whether a later separation turns into years of conflict or a manageable transition.

Parenting duties continue even when the couple relationship ends
Makkonen and Förster note that when children are involved, the end of a romantic partnership does not end shared responsibility. Former partners become what the coaches call an 'parent team,' still required to make joint decisions about their kids after the relationship itself is over.
