5. What are these kids

going to do when they are out in the workforce? "I didn't feel like coming in today so I didn't", or not arranging for a personal day to attend a protest, or counterprotest. The right wing likes to blame "dem librul blue states", but this is happening at a major university in a deep red state.
I know someone who is an instructor at a college.. One of the requirements is to go to the art gallery found in the lobby of the building pick one painting, and write a 500 word essay on it. There are very straightforward simple instructions of how to write the essay. But many instead of just doing that, use GTP to spit out an essay. The AI detectors the school used immediately flagged the essays. Some were not even about any of the art in the gallery. AI is making people lazier than ever.
Those students then complained about receiving failing grades on the essay.
Entitlement, laziness is not a left/right issue, but it everywhere in our schools and colleges. Administrators in high schools, middle schools agreeing to change a student's grade from a C to a B or even an A, regardless if the student even completed all their classwork, passed tests with those grades. It is no wonder we have trouble recruiting teachers, and having teachers leave teaching, because they don't want to deal with all that BS.
