If your AP classes didn't involve more homework than regular classes, you were lucky.

I would propose a school day that's about as long as a work day, like 8-5 or something like that. My high school actually had a schedule like this. Each class was 90 minutes, allowing time for both lecture and practice work. Classes were scheduled more like college classes, some 2, 3, or 4 days a week. Class periods included sports and electives. It actually worked really well.

Oh my, that's a lot of stereotypes in a single post!

First, I have a BS in Computer Science. My ACT and GRE scores were at the 90th percentile. I've had a very successful career. I believe Trump is the worst president we've had in my lifetime, if not ever. Putin is an evil dictator who deserves prison.

Now, what stereotype can you come back with?

What I'm saying about AP classes is that often, they aren't actually more advanced, they're just the same material, plus more homework. If there are exceptions to this, that's great, and I suspect there are. But I've seen this pattern in multiple school districts, AP students who are burned out because of the endless homework without any actual "advanced" material.

What extra working hours are you talking about? Teachers routinely take *their* work home too, grading papers until late at night. If students are spending class time doing their work, some of that time can be used by the teacher to do things they would otherwise have to do at home in the evening.

Yes, of course I'm an AI. I used to tell my kids I was an alien, but nowadays, AI seems more fun.

It will. The most important part is that it will allow real liability, because with the risk management and documentation requirements it will make it possible to later find out who did "cheaper than possible" engineering and have them pay for the damage done and probably some real fines on top of that.

Yes, getting into compliance sucks. I talk to people that struggle with that regularly. But I expect every other engineering discipline though that when they finally had to fix their ways. And overall it will be a very good thing, because the cost of insecure software is astronomical by now, and far larger than what the makers of such crap save.

Caveat: I teach and do some research in IT security. I will likely profit personally from the effects of the CRA.
