The summer is over, schools are back, and the data is in: ChatGPT is mainly a tool for cheating on homework.::ChatGPT traffic dropped when summer began and schools closed. Now students are back, and they're using the AI tool again more.

There shouldn't be homework to begin with. Kids go to school FULL TIME, not including commute.

My senior secondary board believes that students. should spend 6 hours a week per subject on top of the hours they are physicians in class. It is insane

Whoa, they make those kids see patients during class?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

what is a senior secondary board? This is more or less the average amount of time I spent on work outside of class in College.

I agree with you for most things except math. For math and math based courses you need to practice a ton to get it.

Reading and writing are no exception. You also need practice to learn foreign languages. It's not just math

as is the arts as well. there's a reason humans excel at different things in different ways

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

We should send them somewhere to practice those things 7 hours a day 5 days a week

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Disagree.

You can get all the practice you need during school hours.

Maybe we should stop learning about the Ming dynasty and memorizing the Canterbury tales if we needed more time for math practice.
