Summary
Educators are increasingly frustrated by the systemic issue where students are treated as mere metrics rather than individuals. This approach undermines effective educational practices and leads to disengagement and a lack of meaningful interaction. The reliance on quantitative indicators corrupts the educational process, making it difficult for teachers to connect with students on a personal level. There is a pressing need for a paradigm shift that values individual student needs and fosters genuine engagement in learning.
