    I did 6th, 7th and 8th grade in small town Oklahoma 20 years ago so I have first hand experience. Curious to know how bad it’s gotten since the advent of classroom iPads and ai, especially since they’ve maintained their bottom rankings.

    My 8th grade geography teacher was the wrestling coach. He had a projector with slides that matched the text book, and would just scroll through then reading off the screen so class. All of our assignments were in the textbook, which also has the answers printed in them. And that is what he used to grade the assignments. I got an award for “excellence in geography” at the end of the year, but I know for a fact it’s because I was in his class first in the mornings and I set up the projector for him because he didn’t know how.

    I feel bad for the teachers looking back, they were doing their best but had fuckall to work with.
