Here’s a counter analysis - would you see the difference between your individual, motivated efforts to learn vs the experience of learning at scale, for all other students ?

There’s a lot of individual anecdotal responses that people come up with in these threads, and I’m happy for the positive examples.

I do think people are capable of extrapolating, especially since all of us have the experience of seeing students wanting to escape studies as kids.

It’s identical to the gym problem, everyone wants to be healthy and fit, but the effort sucks and we avoid it.

Education at scale is the same issue. We basically nurture/force crops of students over a 20 year time span.
