Remember when your calculator got confiscated because you might've scribbled formulas inside the case?
Now kids are asking ChatGPT to write their entire essays.
Bit of a step up, that.
Jack and Adam dig into why our education system seems stuck in the dark ages despite all our technological progress.
From those freezing cold BBC computer labs of our youth to the questionable nutritional value of "good sh*t pizza" in the school canteen, they explore their own educational mishaps and question whether today's students are getting any better preparation for a rapidly changing world.
Plus, Jack shares the mental tale of his dad hitchhiking to Wales at age 9 and sleeping in a police cell, while Adam recalls how university lecturers somehow always assigned their own £40 textbooks as "essential reading."
Funny that...
