It’s true that handwriting is how it was done for thousands of years - but it was still done outside of class.

Requiring students to do all written work, especially essays, in class means providing class time for those students to write -

Which means not doing some of the lessons required in the curriculum.

My schedule is already tight. I’m already required to fit much more into my classes than I’m able to. Because I teach college, my students are writing 5-10 page papers. That takes hours of time. For one paper I would need to in effect cancel 3-4 lessons.

Teachers teach you know…? We don’t just assign readings lmao.

Idk maybe K-12 teachers aren’t doing very much teaching and can just assign readings to be done outside of class but I also think maybe the fact that there are teachers doing nothing more than assigning readings is part of the reason why students eventually think it’s ok to just use AI. If their class is nothing more than a Read Stuff and then Write Stuff About It Down class I don’t know that I’m surprised they think, “Well, AI can do this.”

An ex-colleague of mine was complaining to me the other day about the ai problem in her students' papers, and I told her, "Just make your students hand-write them in class. Easy." She looked at me like I was insane and tried to explain how that would never work, but I just said,"That's how we did it for a thousand years. The invention of word processors doesn't erase all that."

To me it seems obvious. Readings are done out of class, handwritten essays are done within it. No more ai papers.

Amanda Palmer KNEW Scarlett Pavlovich would be alone with Neil Gaiman that first day. Palmer made the play date for her son. Amanda Palmer is not a hapless innocent in this. Fourteen women had complained to her about her husband’s behavior, and she did nothing.
