The real problem is that teachers aren’t being paid enough to give a fuck.
doesn't stop them from giving a fuck though.
my wife was at a school where no one in her grade used the llms. like, they already had established curriculum. they didn't need to. she moved last year. now her principal uses claude to read and respond to all her emails. who knows what else. it's obvious and infuriating. the whole damn school is struggling because of it. i want to tell the principal "you know, the district hired you, not the openAI. keep using the AIs and the district will wonder why they hired you" but it would cost my wife her job come pink slip time.
so it really depends on the district and the school.
I wish there were more teachers like your wife. I also wish I could afford to become a teacher myself, but could never afford the pay cut.
it was a pay raise for us. my wife was a school district interpreter. they make about half what teachers do
