AS long as they're held accountable for actually teaching at that payrate, I'm all for it. I had too many teachers that did the bare minimum to make sure we could pass the standardized test and that was it. I hated science in high school because of it and can't get enough of it now that I can learn it from people that give a shit.
It's possible these two attitudes are related somehow.
Maybe, but some classes that could have been a slog were enjoyable because of those teachers at least trying to NOT make it purely memorization. For example, my biology(?) teacher assigned us 2 hours worth of copying down words and their definition every night. She ended up getting injured or sick and got replaced by a substitute and he had us make a model of a cell out of food and/or candy for homework. Same class, same semester, guess which one I can actually remember now because it wasn't insufferably monotonous.
Working in a school district currently, that is pushing AI in a massive way. It's going to be interesting to see how this plays out.
There is a major push here for teachers to use it as much as possible. While I get it to a certain degree... I'm also not sure how I feel about it. Just seems like a more convent way for teachers to do less, and be less "involved".
