The younger Gen Z are cheating with AI too much in school.

I am going back to school to learn a new trade. I saw a better opportunity with the demand in work and I wanted to try something new. It’s an accelerated program able to fit 2 years of schooling into 10 months. I come from a similar trade, so I already knew a lot of the material, plus they have a lot of resources to help you succeed.

I am 3 months in am I am a B student. The online material takes some time, but it prepares you for the 10 hour classes every week you have to attend physically. The younger Gen Z are obviously cheating. They get every answer correct online, but have no idea what they are doing during physical class. They are normally on their phones as well. They can’t explain basic theory or any of the common practices we do on a daily basis. At the end if every class grades are public to show the hard work. An “A” student who has no idea what he’s doing and can barely handle tools, bragged about his fake grade because it was higher than mine.

I want the cheaters to know that if you cheat in college or apprenticeships you’re cheating yourself. You are learning how to make money. Why take the financial risk and none of the reward to learn?
