I don't see this discussed often enough but high school and universities need to adapt FAST, like yesterday, to the current reality. More in-class study and "hands-on" work with proctored in-person exams. There is no incentive for students to go through their courses "the honest way" and build this intuition themselves. Can you blame them?

Are proctored in-person exams not the default for most places anyway?

Schools have always lagged and can barely keep up. Books once printed on any tech topic is almost always outdated by the time it reaches students. Anecdotally, I went through high school being told over and over that I wouldn't always have a calculator in my pocket. I think the messaging they conveyed was done poorly, and should have said "you need to understand the fundamentals and why the calculator gave you the answer".

I studied computer science and mathematics, not software engineering Could've used a better software engineering class but I use the more abstract knowledge regularly and I think it would be a disadvantage to strip that out and just go straight to "here's how to prompt" Sorry if I'm straw manning your comment, I do think that the abstract stuff is more important than ever, and would also like to see more philosophy and such required for eng/science/math degrees.

> More in-class study and "hands-on" work with proctored in-person exams. If you move to in-class, hands-on work you don't need exams at all as you will see their performance develop in class as well. Exams are for things you can't see them actually use first hand.
