It is progress, but the progress doesn't come for free, as this article and associated discussion shows.
The progress now means that this is now a default expectation at the high school level, which means more work for high-schoolers to just stay afloat.
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> which means more work for high-schoolers to just stay afloat I’m arguing this isn’t a given. It often is. But consider the pedagogical progress in just educational YouTube videos. Difficult concepts that took hours to understand can now be grasped in under an hour. (You still have to work at it.)
- elevatedastalt 2y agoWe are talking of different things. It's good that high-schoolers can make mobile apps. I am talking of the amount of extra work kids have to put in just to have an edge in their admissions profile. It's bad if the avg college admission officer expects every high-schooler to have an open source project.
