@cwebber@social.coopChristine Lemmer-Webber Like I can go on about how fucked up education is and how yeah it doesn't surprise me at all that students are able to do their work with a shitty chat bot. the work was never something that engaged students and made them want to learn. I suck at math, the only reason I'm kinda good at it is because I watched youtube videos from khan academy and other sources that actually made it engaging to learn. I found it funny when my AP world history teacher would turn on the crash course from John Green https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylWORyToTo4 (these) for each unit. We have so many forms of media that we can learn from and education just... hasn't caught on. you know, watching videos like numberphile seeing people actually engage in math in more than just this monotone "oh you solve for x by moving the equation around". Seeing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuA2EAgAegE and actually being excited to see e in my classwork... Education just serves everything in this sterile environment and we lost that passion. My trig/precalc teacher was a first year teacher and it was so fucking horrible watching her become more and more shut in and less energetic about things because of pressure from the district and just the students treating her bad (my school district is known for its test scores, that's all they focus on. my junior year of english was literally just focusing on the ACT/SAT English rules).
