clearly, you are. I just don't think you understand how it works yet. you must not be a teacher in the US.
you can't just go and make changes to how you grade/teach your students in the midst of session. if you wait for a new year, your grading criteria has to go through review and approval.
come the fuck on.
I seriously doubt you are a teacher, and if you were I doubt a PE teacher has much to say about AI worth hearing.
I'm not a US teacher but Europe. University. A lot of teachers work in the field part time and part time teacher. We need to have a regulated outcome for our students. How we teach is up to the teacher. If I see that students can just get an A by using AI, then I'm not doing my job. So yeah, I'm not only expected to change how I teach, I'm required.
European university is a huge difference from US general education. the department of education is a staunch supporter of bureaucracy and hierarchy. as a teacher, if you aren't doing "approved" things in "approved" ways in your classroom, you'll be fired and stripped of your teaching license, students be damned.
this is why most US teachers are burnt out and just leave the career entirely.
the USDOE is far from functional, but it's still better to have something (even the turd it is now) than nothing.
I did not know this. That really sucks.
