- The stuff being covered in high school is indeed pretty useless for most people. Not all, but most, and it is not that irrational for many to actually ignore it.
- The reduction in social mobility decreasing the motivation for people to work hard for anything in general, as they get disillusioned.
- The assessment mechanisms being easily gamed through cheating doesn't help.
It's probably time to re-evaluate what's taught in school, and what really matters. I'm not that anti-school but a lot of the homework I've experienced simply did not have to be done in the first place, and LLM is exposing that reality. Switching to in-person oral/written exams and only viewing written works as supplementary, I think, is a fair solution for the time being.
