WTF. As others say, this is prolly fake— ‘The little reading corner I once built, full of soft beanbags and paper stars, was replaced by data charts and “learning metrics.”’ But the rest sounds like a nightmare: ‘… filling out digital reports to protect myself from angry emails or lawsuits. I’ve been yelled at by parents in front of twenty-five children…’ Fiction is good when it conjures a scene or personality. I’m feeling the pain described here. On a ChatGPT related note— I was asked to write an online recommendation for someone a few weeks ago. I started by thinking I could just bang it out. Wrote a list, but I struggled imagine a structure in 2-3 paragraphs. So, it sat on my desktop for several weeks. Bonk! Obviously a candidate for chatGPT. The results included a few unexpectedly good sentences, but most importantly I got the arc of my recommendation. I reworded, cut and trimmed and was happy with the result. I predict with ChatGPT, whining about writing a recommendation is a thing of the past.
