Meta is adding ridiculous ‘rate limits’ and a soft paywall to its smart glasses (www.theverge.com)

TL;DR: you now need to pay a $20/month "meta premium" subscription to use a 100% offline feature that runs on your own malware-ridden smartglasses.

If you don't subscribe, you can use the feature that is already included in the hardware that you already paid for 3 hours each month

The now-paywalled feature boosts the voice of the speaker in front of you, something that even low-end ANC earphones are doing now. 5 minutes of free usage per day is basically nothing.

Morality and such isn't really a teacher's job.

Besides that, "between no kid left behind" and government testing standards that are tied into funding, teaching a turned into a generic lump of shit, and everyone gets to pass.

It isn't really an issue of morality imo, it's a teacher's job to give grades that reflect the student's skill level.

Excuse me, with how shitty parents are, someone has to step up, or we are all screwed.

Let's put aside who's job is what, these kids are going to be building our future too.

The parents will raise hell and admin will pressure you to look the other way since the last thing they want is their stats looking bad. There's a reason teachers are quitting in droves. You couldn't pay me enough to be one.

I mean, they really won't, since the old people are the ones who always vote. I'll be dead by the time any of today's school kids are in charge of anything and the teacher lesson plans, or no kids left behind aren't going away any time soon. if you can't teach your own children a sense of morality, you don't even deserve to have a say in this discussion.
