As long as the teacher understands their own lesson from the students work it doesn’t matter that the students doesn’t actually grasp what its about
I mean, I'm in a medical course so... yes it does matter that students understand a fundamental concept all life is based on?
Of course, i am not disputing that and it also matters to me. But i don’t believe the system of education allows a teacher to accurately assess such without putting a great amount of personalization in for every student.
The skills required to pass education are not the same as those to get a good understanding and as a side effect we often have people severely lacking understanding biased by credentials in critical positions.
Large language models have pretty much proven this by being able to ace exams better then any human while being unable to reason or understand.
Are teachers even allowed to fail a student who has excellent scores on the argument they hold beliefs that are inconsistent with understanding the content matter?
