We all remember how the President of Harvard University got busted for plagiarizing her work. She still rakes in big money from Harvard, even though any Harvard student caught plagiarizing would presumably be expelled.
But the President was a DEI token. she "Didn't Earn It".
Its a safe bet to say that most DEI tokens "didn't earn it", and in fact plagiarized their work.
So lets do this...
Lets use Harvard, to make an example for everyone to see.
Harvard has already been busted, and Harvard has has plenty of time to do whatever it is they are going to do.
this is an acceptable use of AI
when i was in school, i was kind of soft-spoken, quiet, shy ... a push-over...
it was very common for me to have other students ask me to copy my homework, if not ask me to outright do their homework for them...
i was put into an awkward spot, because i usually got very good marks on my work, and it would be very obvious to the teacher if Mr D+ suddenly turned in A+ work...
and i knew that if two students got caught cheating, they would BOTH get a ZERO on the assignment.
f'n d'heads, putting me in that position, where i bust my ass to get my work done, and risk getting a zero!
whats a student to do?
i ratted them out!
im not normally a snitch, but f these guys!
id walk into class and walk straight over to the teacher and tell the teacher that so-and-so copied my homework...
they only asked to copy my work... they never asked for me to keep my big mouth shut about it.
oh, and the best part was, because the teachers liked me, and didn't want to have to give me a zero, they would kind of turn a blind eye to the whole thing.
so the cheating kids won in the end...
I had a little more confidence than you did back then. I too, worked hard and got good grades. Often a boy in one of my elective classes would ridicule me with 'Brown Noser,' 'Suck up', etc., whenever our papers were handed back and he saw my A+. This classmate had a repaired hairlip scar from infancy and was the disruptive goofy class clown, the kid who never turned his homework in on time and the kid that always had to interrupt or crack some joke, because (I assumed) it was his way of dealing with his insecurity about his 'less than ideal looks'.
When he did this to me, I would laugh it off. But, one day I said to him, "Tom, you are just as smart as I am, and if you would just do your homework and stop goofing off, you'd get an A, too." He looked stunned at that comment, and went quiet. And, to my surprise, for the rest of the year he stopped acting up, turned his homework in on time and became an A student. It's as though he just needed someone to tell him they saw his potential. That was an important lesson to learn.
That is an interesting and inspiring little anecdote!
Wow! The teachers were more concerned with what Mr D+ thought about them than you were. Props to you👍
i would have charged them but dumbed it down
i went to school in the ghetto. we had lunch tickets that were either blue, if you paid full price, or pink, if you got free or reduced lunch...
there were literally only 2 blue lunch tickets in my entire grade.
needless to say, most of these kids didn't have money
the lunch tickets were made to be hot pink on purpose, so its hard to hide what they are from the other kids. its meant to be a way to shame a kid, and make him feel bad for being poor.
but the joke was on them, because there were so many of us, it became evident to all of us that we were all poor, and that the economy sucked!
the kids with the blue lunch tickets probably got badgered for money from the poor kids... come on man, buy me a chocolate milk.. i know your folks got money!
i brown-bagged it
Me too! My awesome Ma would make me a heavy ass sandwich with good deli meat and cheese and the good bakery bread almost every day of high-school. Thanks Ma!
for a while (before the above scenario) we would "go home for lunch", except there wasn't any lunch at home. parents probably weren't even there. we'd just go home while everyone else was eating, so it would be less awkward for everyone involved.
I always made better grades than anyone else and even skipped a grade in high school. I used to do everybody's homework and I'd get some extra spending money for doing it. They would also be in leadership positions but had to acquiesce to me for guidance. So many of them were dumb as a box of rocks. I think we see now that we are being governed by complete idiots.
