valedictorian

Proof that high marks at school doesn’t translate at all to common sense.

Gpas reflect compliance, not intelligence. This is why women excel at “modern” teaching methods, it just requires note taking regurgitation, not critical thinking.

The funny thing is, as that type of teaching becomes more common, cheating it becomes easier.

For my part I had a 4.0 in the semesters I bothered to turn in assignments.

Their questions aren't hard. Half the time you can tell the correct answers without reading the questions.

It's why they're such abject failures at everything else, as soon as they leave the context of fools and have to actually do something

Especially with AI becoming more useful. I think they found that most school papers pass as AI either because many were the training data for the AIs in the first place, or they all just have the same kind of tone and phrasing to them.

It's an intended effect of the system. Cheating is easy it's just vomiting on command, innovating and growing is hard.

It's a poor tactic in my opinion.

If I was creating such a system I'd want some way to identify people like me and filter them out.

Currently it doesn't do that

This is why so many “smart” people are worried about AI.

Actually intelligent people realize that AI is just advanced statics/regression analysis/ parroting.

The retardation of heaping "most likely to succeed" on an 18 year old is astonishing. You have no ability to say that, no ability to measure that, and you produce no positive results by cranking these bullshit declarations out every year.

Yet. They do.

It's not about being "valedictorian." It's about establishing the government fed bullshit pipeline into their heads at an early age. Lying to them actively about the future is a big part of making this happen.

Yes you do.

I teach 6th grade and I can with 90% accuracy tell you who will and won't graduate high school, who will and won't be arrested, who will and won't be addicted to street drugs.

I can with 90% accuracy

I doubt you've measured. I'm willing to bet it's closer to 60%. This is not much better than a coin flip. You make proclamations that appear to have value but don't. This interferes with the lives of children.

I hope you keep this all to yourself.

You really out here trying to say the chronic delinquent already on his 5th assault, 2nd sexual assault, and dealing and doing drugs in high school student is not going to go to jail. He's just a misunderstood boy and a victim of society and totally not culturally raised to do these things. It's not one in ten that fall into it. It's one in one hundred that escape it. Watch a hip hop music video and tell me these people are being encouraged to escape instead of getting into this lifestyle.
