perhaps we should remodel our educational system towards content that had a great deal of time spent creating it rather than a slideshow created last night. if only there was this medium that allowed information to be duplicated all over the world instantly so that every professor doesn't need to create their own content

I'm actually some combination of flabberghasted and annoyed that we're in 2023 and computers have still not been terribly successfully deployed into any educational setting.

I suppose the idea that we should look to the results rather than some Ivory Tower education professor's ideas about what constitutes good teaching is just too foreign for the establishment as a whole. I've got armies of PhDs A-B testing whether they can extract .001 cent more per ad from me, but it's too much to ask of society as a whole to check into the question of what curriculum works better. Grant shouldn't have to be all but forcing his way uphill into this space.
