“teachers don’t ask students to write essays because the world needs more student essays. The point of writing essays is to strengthen students’ critical-thinking skills;… writing essays develops skills necessary for whatever job a college student will eventually get”

Never mind the nonsense about whether gen-AI can generate good lesson plans; what's really worrying is its impact on the 'hidden curriculum'. What tacit social and cultural lessons are students going to absorb from their exposure to these privatised 'normalising machines'?

Oh I don't know, I think that territory is actually very well charted

Ambulances cant get to hospitals in Jenin since they have destroyed so many roads

Will this protest, like so many others, be deemed antisemitic too?

On Netanyahu's map, the entire West Bank (including East Jerusalem), where millions of Palestinians have lived under Israeli military occupation for 57 years, has been erased and the whole region outside Gaza is labelled "Israel." He stands by the river and points to the sea.

I truly hope this genocidal maniac is not right. That most Israelis would not press the button, even if they could anonymously.

"Are we mugs? Absolute mugs?" Gary Adshead 6PR Perth can't believe the gas industry are calling to import more gas into Australia when 80% of our gas is exported overseas, largely royalty-free. Roderick Campbell dismantles the gas shortage myth #auspol #climate
