We actually did have a post the other day reporting positive results of LLM use for education. The linked Harvard study contains a prompt that I was easily able to adapt and use with some fun and engaging results (just tried it on myself, not with students). I think suggesting a constructive approach like this for the (secondary) purpose of education could have been added in the discussion with the principal to make it seem less cynical. Also, training disadvantaged locals in LLM use for educating and as a side effect empowering them to also use the LLM tutor for themselves to learn about new topics in an engaging way could even be a benefit to themselves in the short to medium term.
