Public Schools. I think terror there is built as a feature, not a bug. So be afraid.

But keep in mind, it may have always been this way. God bless those few cool teachers in each school who are aware of this and work to rescue a few who need it.

Love changes everything. Good teachers matter.

Of course it is. In person, with an unseen prompt/question. By hand or not doesn’t really matter as we can airgap or just monitor via software when in class.

This has nothing to do with Public School in particular. This is impacting private and university education too.

From what I have seen, (some) private schools are moving faster here; not to say private primary/secondary schools are unaffected, rather that it's worst in public schools.
