Academics are like cats, almost totally worthless and easily distracted by shiny objects.
Yeah, but it's bifurcated. Same as ever, just the cheating method has changed. The bottom half do whatever they have to do to get a C. The top half wants to learn the right way. Life as a teacher gets infinitely better when you stop caring about the bottom half.

What if we just ordered a new Congress from TEMU? It would still be garbage controlled by foreign countries, but it would probably be cheaper.
