  • I’m in a developing country, and experienced studying in public school, so I’ve seen what it was like to see some classmates coming from impoverished households struggling to deal with studies. Not to mention I had teachers for relatives, and they talk shop about the frustrations of teaching.

    For all I know the issues I saw can happen elsewhere, as I recall seeing a news article where in India some parents attempt to sneak into school during exams and try to help their kids cheat.



  • A combination of issues tend to discourage learning, accelerate truancy, and create dismal life outcomes among the youth, especially those enrolled in public schools, where traditional rote memorization, teaching methods, how achievements are rewarded, and politics and power dynamics (i.e. bullying, nepotism, entitlement) within those schools are the norm. So these types of kids have a negative perception towards education as being tedium, and they want the diploma purely to be able to obtain immediate employment regardless of how much or less they have actually learned. Thus they’ll try to cheat their way through, and using AI to beat the system is very tempting.
