Thoughts to share for professors and teachers

I think what teachers don’t understand or fail to address when speaking on student cheating and academic integrity is that our education system is broken to it’s core. They don’t teach people to think critically, or use their brains. They simply want information memorized and then regurgitated onto a piece of paper for marks “to ensure their understanding”. This isn’t how the real world works. Degrees are essentially useless outside of stem, kids are pressured to simply memorize texts and get good grades. I’d fucking cheat too. Gimme my piece of paper so I can fuck off and be unemployed or under employed in peace, goddamnit. I have a college diploma, an advanced diploma, a degree and 2 interprovincial red seals. You know what makes me the money? The fucking red seals. The degree is a cute picture in my home office I look at sometimes and go “oh ya, forgot I had that”, then move on with my day. All post secondary institutions have become money hungry paper mills. Get the marks, get the paper. There’s no real learning that happens at these places. Don’t kid yourselves. If ya ain’t cheatin. Ya ain’t trying. The kids who are using ARTIFICAL INTELLIGENCE to cheat on your assignments, are probably the “smartest” ones in the room. It’s not about how much knowledge you can memorize, it’s about how quickly you can acesss the knowledge you need, when you need it. AI is an amazing tool for that. And I think the education system should embrace that idea and maybe look at what THEY’RE doing to try and improve on the current curriculum and methods. Sense made? We’ll find out. End rant.
