    same, they all love cheating, before AI they would mostly just copy paste eachother's work

    and me the alone kid who actually wanted and cared about learning would be drown out in busy work to be done, get bad grades even though I did well in tests and exercises, simply because I failed to do the annoying boring homeowrk of writting an essay that we all know the teacher is not reading, that they just made thjs assigment to give students free grade points because they know that if they didn't half of the students would fail the class, they would go lenghts about how they were being nice by doing this, and yet screwing over me would never be mentioned, one of the few students that ever displayed any form of curiosity in class

    It's too bad, now we'll have to replace them with speaking in front of the class without notes.

    I wouldn't mind. Some would struggle.

    I taught a class of eight students who liked each other and got along well (but weren’t dating each other) for twenty hours a week for six weeks. They were all still terrified to give presentations at the end, even though it was a language course and they all already spoke a lot in class. I don’t know how I could make it easier for them, because that’s just about the lowest stress scenario I can set up. I’m not judging them for it, because I had a couple moments of panic in front of them as well, sometimes it happens, but I’d like to make it less stressful. I could just have them do it every day to make it routine, but if some of them are really affected by it, that might just make them dread the class.

    Public speaking is a dying art, with the potential to change the world. People just aren't given enough exposure in the right circumstances anymore. All we need is a place where it's safe to fail, and all that nervous energy becomes a vibrant excitement with no comparison.
