Who would have thought that having something do the thinking for you would have a negative impact on learning.

Seems obvious, but get ready to hear from 13-20 year olds who still don't understand the purpose of education.

You need an update, it's no longer referred as the Pythagorean theorem.

Plenty enough adults think the same way sadly. It's extremely annoying to deal with them at work, every time I get a "why should I learn how to properly fill out this request form when I can just hand in whatever and then have you tell me what you need is easier" I really feel like going on a bonking spree might be a good idea. Especially because the stuff that needs to be included is always the same kind of thing, everything on the request form is properly labeled and you really just need to read these labels. Not like you have a bazillion options for what makes sense to be included when you want a new supplier added to the database in the first place...

2026 was my institution's worse year on record for students getting kicked out of graduate and medical schools.
Fake it until you don't make it.

Honestly surprised it's only 20%
