Earlier quoted context omitted.
In highschool classes forever ago we had to write 20+ page papers. I can't imagine trying to do that on a phone!
These days might be gone, with the availability of LLMs now. You only need to prompt a bit, then it is all copy and paste. I have no idea if the students are learning a whole lot this way, though.
- If it is an English class and you have to write about a personal experience, that would still take a lot of prompting.
- Other courses in psychology, political science, and journalism can pull from events too recent for writing subjects.
- Writing essays by hand in a tests setting or just as an exercise can solve two things. Now you would know a students writing style for the future and write without a computer.
- Using Google Docs to analyze revision history, not perfect by any means but helpful.
