[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't one of the main points of paying for private education that your kid gets individualized attention and comments from teachers who care about their students - even if it means filling out 90 comment cards twice a year? That's the whole point

The issue is that administration gave them no guidance and then responded flat footed here in the story. Shame on GDS,

Now we will get clean up on aisle 6. I predict an email from head of HS friday after hours with some milquetoast statement.

I get it - it's hard to be a teacher and administrator today but the reply in this article by department chairs and school admin is beyond tone-deaf and entirely a bad lesson for kids.

You do realize that the chatGPT does not create the individual comments right? You do know that the teacher has to write the comments and the chatgpt only put them in a better format, then the teacher can update each comments to be individualized.

You don't get it, you don't get being a teacher, you don't get technology, you don't get most things it sounds like from your post.[/quote]

I call BS. I do get it. I know the stresses and strains these teachers are under and that they are paid $50k per year and have to have multiple side hustles like overnight field trip chaperone to make a living wage.

I have not been a teacher but I have enough room in my brain and heart to see where they are coming from.

That  said, don't berate my kid for using GPT to reformulate his opening paragraph when you are doing the same. Let's call it what it is. The teachers are being hypocrites and violating the code they signed up to honor as teachers.

If you tell me upfront you will use a LLM for this, then I can respond Make it the policy. And while you are at it, allow my kids to learn this technology instead of threatening the disciplinary committee if they are caught

You see my issue isn't with the teachers per se, as much as you want to believe that, my issue is with the abject duplicity. DO as I say, not as I do.

Or let's drop comments entirely except for kids who are underperforming or on a downward trajectory. Let's free the teachers from the tyranny of this artifice.

Just wait til the press gets hold of this stpry....
