Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Calculators dont give wrong answers. But the problem with "You won't always have a calculator to do math for you" was that it ignores the requirement to actually learn the math. If a student is tasked with learning multiplication, using a calculator won't teach them how to multiply. The best math teachers grade based on the work shown, not the answer. AI is being used how calculators were being used. Students aren't doing any work and therefore are not learning how to do anything. Producing answers alone isn't the point of school, even when the answers are correct.
They absolutely do give wrong answers, as in this classic meme that's way off because of floating point:
On another note, why the huge difficulty spike between that question and the next one lol
Because it's absolutely not a real paper lol, it's a bait
That's true for elementary math, but as soon as order of operations comes in a calculator can only do so much of the work. Maybe that's the compromise? Teaching kids the "correct" way to utilize chat? I have no idea. I'm just gonna teach my kids that if they don't use chat they're going to end up much more valuable in the long run because they can think for themselves
