How about educators evolve their tests instead of acting like it is the 1950's still?
Everybody has a calculator everywhere at all times, head calculations just aren't as useful anymore.
Instead of writing pages on topics by hand like some medieval peasant, how about teaching some critical reading of multiple sources through the use of AI synopsis?
Skills evolve over time. Writing cursive was once an extremely important skill. Now everything is digital and it became useless.
So if a task can be completed by copy pasting ChatGPT results, it isn't an effective teaching tool anymore.
They already are using in-class hand written and oral exams as a result of this and to that, I agree with you.
Also I can tell you for a fact mental and written calculations are far more useful than just typing shit on a calculator non-stop.
Also Chat GPT is not a calculator. It completely removed the human from all intellectual pursuits and that's why it's bad.
