Oh yeah, tech is gonna replace human teachers any day now

[Eman623]

Seventeen year olds are and always have

Uh, they give sex ed classes to 17 year olds. They've been doing it for decades.

Were you not aware of this?

 

[Unkotare]

Yes, because ten year olds are having way too much gay unprotected sex.

Who said anything about ten year olds?

 

[Unkotare]

"That's bullshit and you know it."

Judy knows better than to parrot nonsense from the internet like some brainless drone.

 

[rightwinger]

When I was in school, aside from biology, the subject of sex or homosexuality never came up in classes.
Nor should it have.

I graduated 50 years ago and had sex ed and learned about homosexuality
What shithole school did you go to?

Uh, they give sex ed classes to 17 year olds. They've been doing it for decades.

Were you not aware of this?

No shit Sherlock

rightwinger said, "Imagine children learning their are gay people in the world or how important protection is during intercourse."

A 17 year old is not a child, especially one in a sex ed class. That is more of a young adult.

He's doing a classic motte-and-bailey here.

I tried using AI to make a 10 question, multiple choice vocab quiz. The correct answer was B for every question.

My students said that my multiple choice vocab quizzes are harder than AI quizzes. So AI can do it, but a human do it better.

Once AI has produced something, you can look it over and instruct the AI to make any changes you want.

It probably came up in the bathroom for you.

 

[Unkotare]

...

A 17 year old is not a child, ...

Yes, it is.

 

[Unkotare]

Nobody has said people are being forced to go to college. That's a really stupid thing to say.
...

Then you shouldn't have said it.

Legally
A 17 yr old is still a child

AI won't kick teachers out. It'll make things easier but can't do the real human stuff.

Why:

• AI handles drills, grading, fast feedback, and makes lessons fit each kid.
• It can't replace vibes—mentoring, calming a rowdy class, reading emotions, or spotting when a kid needs real help.
• Tech has bugs: bias, cheating, privacy, and not every school has the gear. Those problems stop schools from dumping teachers.

What teachers will do:
- Pick and tweak AI lessons, coach students, check AI's work, use data to help kids, and teach how to use AI smartly.

Quick moves for schools:
1. Train teachers on AI.
2. Fix device and internet gaps.
3. Make rules for privacy and fairness.
4. Rethink tests to focus on thinking and creativity.
5. Pilot first, scale later.

Did you try telling AI to randomize the answers and make the questions a little harder?

Nope. Why would I? The difficulty is generated by what I know about my students. It can't be replicated. And if I have to tell AI that all the answers shouldn't be the same, then I might as well make it myself. I'd spend as much time reviewing the AI work to look for other issues, plus running various iterations with each draft, as I would making my own.

I did a couple of AI based projects this year. The projects exploited the idea that AI makes mistakes.

 

[Zincwarrior]

This thread is weird, but Motte and Bailey castles are cool. I don't know how it went from talking about AI to sex ed.

Motte.

So is a ten year old.

Bailey.

 

[rightwinger]

So is a ten year old.

?

 

[Lockback]

Then you shouldn't have said it.

I didn't, liar.

Speaking of bathrooms, I just gave birth to a Unkotare. It smelled terrible ...

Personal experience and much anecdotal evidence from friends, neighbors, and much reading.

You have been indoctrinated by your friends, neighbors and reading?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

No, don't be stupid.
I don't want to force anybody to do anything.
I think college educations are highly overrated (yes, I do have a bachelors degree) and grossly overpriced and universities have become conduits for Far Left causes. The evidence is simply undeniable.

There's that broad-brush again that people use when bashing education! SOME universities are that way. Not all. SOME schools use indoctrination on students. MOST do not.

 

[Lockback]

You have been indoctrinated by your friends, neighbors and reading?

When university after university across the country has "Pro Palestine" rallies and Pro-Trans rallies and Anti-Israel rallies and Trump bashing rallies, do you think that's just organic?
You don't see an obvious trend?
This from Grok:

Correlation is clear​

• Pew data (US): Postgraduates are far more likely to hold consistently liberal views across issues (government role, environment, social topics) than those without college degrees. The gap has widened over decades. College grads (especially advanced degrees) cluster left on cultural issues like immigration, abortion, gender, and race.
• Graduates are more secular, less authoritarian, and less racially prejudiced on average. This holds cross-nationally but is pronounced in the US and UK.
• Voting/party ID: College-educated voters have shifted toward Democrats in recent US cycles (the "diploma divide"), while non-college voters moved toward Republican
