Comment on We’re Training Students To Write Worse To Prove They’re Not Robots, And It’s Pushing Them To Use More AI

If I were still in school and running into this problem I’d be recording my text editor. Alternately, I do think you can use Google docs to look at edit history if you enable it when sharing a document. Fuck dumbing down your own writing. Put some em dashes in there and make them skim through a 4 hour video if they complain.

My understanding from a recent high school student is that they’re required to use Word online because it captures the stream of edits for their teacher.

  You can still fake it. Have AI write the essay, you “write” a first draft and simulate edits here and there. You can also prompt AI to writer a first, seomcond, and third draft and detail changes. Then you manually make them.
  
  This is a chance for teaching and grading to change. It needs to as the traditional methods which were failing from budget cuts, overuse of shit tools, etc, weren’t working. Put learning, not evaluation, in the class and you can avoid AI abuse. I am an N of 1, but go grab Frier, read pedagogy of the oppressed, and then start researching contract grading.

    I’m telling you there are teachers out there who are amazing because they approach teaching without regurgitation and grade based progress.
    
    And you have to tell us that, because mostly we haven’t seen such teachers and wouldn’t otherwise know they existed.

    Which is a tragedy. Many reasons pertaining to why that is the exception.
