I was frustated with the sheer amount of essays I was helping out my nephew with. It felt like every single week he had an essay from multiple classes, and it was always the same b.s for every single one. I just couldn't see the point of having to do so many of the same type of "research" assignment over and over again.
When chatgpt beta first became available I was overjoyed, it worked wonders. It worked so well that I figured teachers would have to let go of the essay crutch they had been relying on so much.
My high school experience was largely teachers mentally assuming that their homework was the only homework we were assigned, and not realizing that the time we’d need to spend on all of it was 6 or 7 times what they personally did.
I had one teacher assign four separate (essentially busy-work) assignments over Christmas break. Ridiculous.
Argh, way too much busywork nonsense indeed. I slightly suspect the intention behind it is to mould kids into mindless worker drones that corporations want, but on the other hand per Hanlon's razor it's more likely to just be teachers exercising their ego because they can.
