Are teachers and professors forced to assign lengthy essays?

Date: November 30th, 2025 4:58 PM Author: Cerebral Flickering Locus In hindsight it must be crazy being a public school HS teacher making 55k and having to read several hundred pages of retarded ramblings about the causes of the Civil War or Great Gatsby. Professors even more so have better things to do than read 20+ page papers for students in intro/intermediate courses. Why do they subject themselves to this?

And making students be economical with words is usually tougher for them than letting them ramble on for pages. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5804479&forum_id=2Ã#49472694) |

The only hard limit was 500 words and almost everyone got a C because it was just 500-word vomit. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5804479&forum_id=2Ã#49472701) |

Only thing I can think of is to make grades be less a product of homework and more a product of exams.
Might be a good thing actually, an enormous amount of homework was fucking stupid |

Date: December 1st, 2025 11:24 AM Author: Violet contagious meetinghouse The reason to assign essays/papers is to teach kids to write -- i.e., the retarded ramblings are part of the process. However, with AI I am not sure learning to write is even an important skill for an educated person to have anymore. |
