Questions

A group of teachers in the US was asked to share their experiences as a teacher.

Below are five comments made by teachers.

The question is... which of these are real and which are made up?

1. A high school student asked me what it means to "put in his own words" instead of copying and pasting.

2. One of the questions on a 2nd year (sophomore) high school test asked "What do Chile, California, Alaska and Japan have in common?" One student answered "They're all in America."

3. I asked an undergraduate student for their opinion on a text. They pulled out their phone, typed my question into ChatGPT, and read aloud the answer it gave.

4. I asked my fifth grade student if I buy 5 apples and you buy 20 more than me, how many apples do you buy? She answered "20?"

5. My eighth-grade class was studying the Sahara Desert. One student asked if the desert was dry.

Most of us work. Of those who don’t, many are getting some sort of formal education or training to help them become more productive and marketable.
Are you just collecting a check?
Or are you building yourself up through knowledge, skills and experience?
Or is there something almost ethereal calling you to your craft?
Tell us more in the comments after you vote in the poll, please. You might inspire someone else to take that next step toward financial security or job satisfaction!
