Yeah, I figured that out in high school too. I think it just irks me that different students are being graded on a different standard, subjectively speaking. The neurotypicals are being judged on their ability to learn, while the gifted kids are being judged on their ability to explain. Maybe the gifted kids wanna learn too. They're all told their whole lives the point of school is to learn, and then they're met with disappointing reality. We expect gifted kids to grow up so fast, and having to explain the material back to the teacher to prove they know it doesn't help. I wish they got to spend a little longer just being kids.
How do you deal with students who say "my gut says it works this way. This is an easy problem, the answer is obvious. I don't know how to explain it to you any more simply"?
I mean, it takes 162 pages to formally prove that 1+1=2, but we got by just fine before we wrote down that proof. We just knew the answer, we couldn't explain how. If a student is gifted, a high school level problem could be as simple to them as 1+1 is to most people. They might know and not be able to explain how. Now, in a university environment I'd expect them to learn the proof, but that's not the point of high school maths, is it? The point of high school maths is to know how to solve the problem, not to know why the solution works.
Kids cheat when they're not engaged with the material enough to learn it properly, or when the consequences for not cheating are too much for them to bear.
You gave them an assignment to do when you weren't actually teaching them, which means there's no way they can be properly engaged with the material. And you threatened their spring break with sitting in a room alone doing homework if they didn't get it done fast enough. You created a perfect breeding ground for cheating. Try creating an environment where kids don't feel that they need to cheat.
When I was in university I never heard of anyone cheating, because we were all treated like adults and we were engaging in material we liked. Try inspiring your students and treating them like adults. That means respecting their free time. If you don't give them respect as people, you won't get any respect as an authority.
Look, you're obviously so committed to defending capitalist Vlad that you'll never realise "Genocide Joe" is a nickname for a guy whose name was actually Joe, Joe Stalin, so I'll engage you on your own silly terms and post a list of things Biden did to help queer people. https://www.hrc.org/resources/president-bidens-pro-lgbtq-timeline. Biden has done plenty to harm queer people as well, of course, but nothing he's done is as bad as a law sending all gay people to prison, which is what the original Genocide Joe did.
It's talking about the Genocide in Gaza, which Biden has been supplying with arms. OP is conveniently ignorant of the fact Trump said Israel should "finish the problem", he has promised to ban immigration from Gaza, and that Trump's press secretary claims Trump has done more for Israel than any other president.
Microsoft having to train a new team of contractors on their engine every 6 months is why Halo 6 was delayed so much. It's a horrible business practice that didn't help a single person involved.
One who takes the lives of the poor and the nonhuman as though they were property is of the owning class. Eating meat and driving a car is bourgeois. Only one who rejects their privilege to take the lives of others through property relations is a worker.
