Good. Boredom is the key to learning. Well it should be interesting on it's own, but take what you got.

Of course the manner of learning in most schools is not ideal, kids find it boring for a reason, but without distraction they might latch onto some bits of information just to survive the class.

Boredom is the key to learning something it's just very likely that it won't be the thing school is trying to teach. Especially if the thing school is teaching is the thing boring you.

Maybe you should fix the systematic problem instead of doing surface level fixes that impact the freedom and mobility of minors.

The cover image for this piece smells AI generated

I suppose it is possible the submitter used AI uncredited, but I doubt it. For one thing, there are other images of the same models in the artist's page. Second, the state of AI image generation when this was submitted (June 2023) was pretty terrible for things like this.

More likely is that the image "looks like AI" to you because most image generation models were trained on Common Crawl, which includes at least tens of thousands of curated (royalty-free) images. In other words, AI models generate images that look like stock photos because that is what they know how to generate.
