Don't let her do that. Blows my mind that this one weird trick isn't suggested in the top 100 comments.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Grades determine what college you go to, which determines the connections you make, which determines the trajectory of your entire life.
This never made sense to me, Unless the child is a literal genius or very charismatic, wouldn’t they almost certainly have worse prospects after graduating in the 10th to 30th percentile of their class at Harvard than from the 80th to 90th percentile of their class at Boston U? (Assuming they could even manage to squeak into Harvard in the first placd)
It does in the short term solve the problem that kids hate doing schoolwork and teachers hate doing their jobs.

Who cooked them is the question? Children won't raise themselves generally.
You bet your skibidi ohio their cooked.
EDIT: To clarify

EDIT 2: To clarify further
Those NPCs are down bad, like full system reboot needed—no updates, no saves, just straight uninstall vibes.

"Yeah, this generation’s running on 1 FPS with Wi-Fi from a McDonald’s parking lot—completely preheated, toaster oven edition. "
> She asks him to make it shorter Am I the only one who found it interesting and perhaps a little alarming that the poster, while ostensibly aghast at their little sister's use of ChatGPT, decided midway through the screed to not only personify ChatGPT but also assign it a gender?
I'm not trying to justify, or infer here, but I read recently that around 20% of American adults are functionally illiterate. https://nces.ed.gov/pubs2019/2019179/index.asp I wonder how LLMs are going to affect these metrics.
