- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Some teachers would take the cliff notes for a book their classes reading, and make sure none of their questions were mentioned or relevant to the cliff notes themselves. So you could have real bangers of tests that ask weird ass questions that no reasonable person would remember from the book. What color was the dance card given to the main protagonist and The Great Gatsby dance scene?
So you end up with tests that are just trivia, and don't talk about any thematic issues, or generally recognize themes or takeaways. Crazy times
Now you've got teachers and students fighting over whether or not their paper was written by AI, so students need to jump through hoops trying to prove (or convincingly lie) that they didn't use AI to write. Which can mean writing in weird ways that don't 'feel' like AI.
I absolutely hate this boring dystopia, but emerging dialects due to a need for humans to sound distinct from bots is probably the coolest idea to come out of it so far. It has great parallels with the American vs. British accent situation too.
Just have people write in class...
As a kid who loved reading, the one and only time I read the cliffs notes was for the Diary of Anne Frank. I just couldn’t stand to slog through it and nobody else in class wanted to read it either.
Ironically, I got a perfect score on that test with an average class score of 60. Every single question was addressed in the cliff notes while I skimmed them the night before the test. My teacher treated us to an extended rant when she handed back the tests. “CLEARLY nBodyProblem is the only person who actually WORKED HARD and bothered to READ and UNDERSTAND the material. You all need to learn to be more like nBodyProblem”
And you suddenly realized what your teacher used to make the test questions.
Ya know, that never occurred to me. That makes it twice as hilarious if true.
So what color was it?
Green!
