TL;DR: you now need to pay a $20/month “meta premium” subscription to use a 100% offline feature that runs on your own malware-ridden smartglasses.
If you don’t subscribe, you can use the feature that is already included in the hardware that you already paid for 3 hours each month
The now-paywalled feature boosts the voice of the speaker in front of you, something that even low-end ANC earphones are doing now. 5 minutes of free usage per day is basically nothing.
My mom just caught one of her kids using these to cheat on a final. He had them Bluetoothed to his laptop and it disconnected at some point and she heard “the answer to number 7 is…” But she said he barely got a C on it even while cheating. So since she didn’t know about the glasses until after that student left and another student told her it was the glasses, she just kinda let it go saying “it’s honestly going to be his problem in the future.”
Edit: she couldn’t pin point the kid at the moment, and wasn’t informed who it was until after the kid was gone and the other student told her.
Eh, I cheated off my apple watch in highschool, didn’t make me stupider, I didn’t cheat in college becaue I was too scared to get caught lol.
College was the only time I tried. It was during a lab practical for a higher level immunology. But I looked at another answer of theirs that I knew, and it was not the right answer. So I didn’t use the first.
I’m not a teacher, but I dunno if that’s the right response to someone cheating. It is going to be his problem in the future, but as a teacher, isn’t it her job to teach the kid that that’s not OK? Sorta depends on the age, I suppose, but I’d definitely give the kid a 0% instead of a C.
She couldn’t really have done anything considering she didn’t know which kid it was until after they were gone and the other student informed her.
Ahh, that makes a bit more sense I suppose. Innocent until proved guilty and whatnot. I feel like I’d still want to bring them in to confront them about it, to let them know that they didn’t really get away with it. Also, obviously, I’d be banning smart glasses from tests.
She’s visiting for a funeral and I commented something on the commercial for them, and she told me that sorry and about how she has to watch out for them now. Another loose relation is visiting and a teacher as well and I asked them about ai and got two totally different experiences. My mom’s class doesn’t require a lot of literature as it’s a low level bio class, but the loose family is teaching English to troubled youth and sees it absolutely everywhere. She started having them write one paper first day in class to get a feel for their actual writing aptitude.
Morality and such isn’t really a teacher’s job.
Besides that, “between no kid left behind” and government testing standards that are tied into funding, teaching a turned into a generic lump of shit, and everyone gets to pass.
Excuse me, with how shitty parents are, someone has to step up, or we are all screwed.
Let’s put aside who’s job is what, these kids are going to be building our future too.
It isn’t really an issue of morality imo, it’s a teacher’s job to give grades that reflect the student’s skill level.
yeah, i tutored a fair amount of pre-med students who had to take economics as a general education class. dullards to the last one (these were the ones who needed a tutor for introductory economics) and every single one tried to pay me to do their homework. i kept their names and about half are now working in medicine, because “that’ll be their problem” turns into “that’ll be the patient’s problem”.
please remind your mother that if y’all keep failing them through, look what happens
I mean, it was a bio 2xxx class so likely a gen ed req. She would’ve failed him if she knew who it was at the time. She told me she was “seeing red”. But like I said, the student was one of the first to finish and leave so it would’ve been difficult to make a case.
