Beautifully written, and so depressing

irinadumitrescu.bsky.social•2 days ago

Thank you, that means a lot from you.

One answer is surely to arrange exams and short assignments in quiet rooms with no computers and phones?

lbyock.bsky.social•5 days ago

The problem is that the education system is not looking for solutions. In fact, they’re exacerbating the crisis.

It's not about assessment, it's about values.

Here’s a thought-provoking framing in the terms of self confidence https://bsky.app/profile/alexanderchee.bsky.social/post/3logr4ny5hc2x

I loved and had already liked that post by @alexanderchee.bsky.social ! I think it's exactly right -- we cultivate a relationship to ourselves through writing.

joannabeaufoy.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yes. Sorry, I didn’t mean to derail your points, which are much more interesting. I think the values can be supported though by doing things in certain ways.

Thank you. Currently trying to navigate this as a first-year educator. I'm resistant to AI, but my students are not and it's disheartening trying to navigate the ethics of it.

I've recently learnt that my 15yr old niece is using AI to submit essays at school, and I must admit I was shocked. She's too young to understand, obviously. and I'm worried what this does to her brain and education, and her future. Deeply depressing.

Reminds me of Marie Ebner-Eschenbach, who once said "wer nichts weiß, muss alles glauben" - "Those who know nothing must believe everything".

PS - I also believe my niece no longer reads.
