"I'd rather my kids learn to use every tool at their disposal to be as fast, efficient, and effective as possible."

But that's not how (pre college) education works for the most part, unfortunately. It's lots of fact learning and essay busywork, not a lot of actual problem solving and critical thinking.

busywork and no problem solving/critical thinking? sounds like they're being groomed for middle management!

In the US I think it actually comes from a factory work mindset where everyone does the same kind of thing and learns the same way. The system is at least 50 years behind but in my experience I think teachers are much more attuned to the present.

My public high school education largely focused on problem solving and critical thinking. Seems like GPTchat could possible be just the kick needed to upend the old system.

My (German) high school education definitely didn't. This was the 2000s though, maybe it's gotten better (I highly doubt it).
