I'll be interested to read more about how this plays out in your classroom this year. I think it's a much better strategy than "let's pretend this isn't happening."
The truth, for me anyway, always comes from that Aha moment where I LMAO. This is Substack gold for teachers. Love the footnotes and D&D references, too!
Thanks Rob - I love the footnotes to the point of them making my posts too long to fit into an email. :( But I get to break the fourth wall in them, Deadpool-style, and that keeps me in the camp of "if loving them is wrong, I don't wanna be right."
Matt - I love this. What a wake up call. I'm wondering to what extent you're serious. But they will find these things eventually if they haven't already. And thanks for the shout out.
"If you give an assignment that an AI agent can do in less than a second, can you justify to yourself and your students why they need to do it?"
Sure. Because *doing it* is where pretty much the whole value comes from.
You might as well ask, if you can drive a five-mile loop in a few minutes, can you justify to yourself spending an hour jogging?

Excellent. I appreciated the list at the top of the post -- I'm sending it on to my grandsons who are in HS. In all honesty, I believe that ChatGPT Study Mode was the final straw that will break the camel's back. There is very little reason to continue the "product" (read answer) driven system when it's really process that has been more important all along. Here's my Substack post from yesterday about it. https://open.substack.com/pub/twelchky/p/the-12-punch-that-ends-schooling?r=6jqjj&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

Yeah, I do that too. You want long-form?! Here you go! 😂

Thanks! The extent to which I'm serious really depends on the PD I have to endure in about a week.
