They use to ban calculators as well.

These kids are not being trained for our future.

Exactly! Agreed so damn hard it hurts. "Training provider" has become such a scammy, useless, hollowed out shell of an economic sector; they are all but obsolete and worse, the smartest of them know it.

So they stalk the battlefields of this great and stupid culture war between conservatives and optimists, spitefully and fearfully sniping, sneering and stabbing at anything they see as 'intruding' upon their rapidly shrinking, drying-out little walled gardens of privilege and unearned respect...

In school maths exams in the UK: you usually have one exam where you're allowed a calculator, and one without. Maybe there should be something similar in education and AI: learn how to use it, and how not to use it?
