I can relate 😹 💯 and I’m still in school 🤣
Granted, my “high school” years were long before Ai even showed up, not to mention that a “school computer” was still quite a novelty for the rural school districts. But there is something to be said about having enough “knowledge” about certain subjects that you don’t have to read the material to be able to write about it !🤣

I remember essays that had to be a certain number of pages and making periods a slightly larger font size to make it longer.

5 page essays were one questions in our exams. If an essay was the entire assignment we had to do 20 to 100 pages, single spaced, handwritten.

The subject:

Why is √7 irrational?

I...failed that one.

I teach now, it is getting harder and harder to get students to write 300 words.

That's weaksauce.

I had to write my own text editor before I submitted my final project.

Finished by 1AM, the editor.
The assignment was due at 9AM.

I passed.

True story: I bought Commodore 128 that week and had no software.
