Implying that more work for people already overworked and understaffed was never the intention.
As someone who likes to throw out a lot of random ideas and see what sticks, I **hate** it when people just shit on an idea before trying to see if it has any merit or if there's some way to make it work. Doesn't have to be realistic, you can glean a lot of value just by having the conversation. Calling dude out for being an engineering student and copping out without trying to solve the problem was mostly tongue in cheek but there's a grain of honest critique there too, people are too quick to call it quits when the initial napkin math says something can't work or the numbers are scary.
I think fundamentally dude is on the right track - schools are not properly testing/evaluating if students actually fucking understand any of the material, and that's a **problem** so I'm all for more hands on and direct 1:1 teach and evaluations.
But that's if, and only if, they do it right, and do it with the requisite infrastructure to support it, which includes proper compensation, augmented staffing, better support for existing faculty, etc.
If they're not gonna do that, from the top down, decided at the leadership/organizational level, and then putting it into action from that level, then I guess we just have the current shit tier reality we live in today, and we can all sit and stew in it until someone figures out how to force change. But I don't expect teachers to do extra work.
