A History of Protests

In 1966, math teachers protested against the use of calculators in schools.

In 2024, teachers are protesting against AI tools like ChatGPT.

History repeats itself. Both protests have a valid point: to assess the quality of sources, you need a solid understanding of the basics. You need foundational knowledge to ask AI tools the right questions.

The subject of protest may evolve over time, but the importance of mastering the basics will never change.
