#TASK ep5: Although I loved this series and its well-written plot, I find some choices confusing. For example, after realizing that Eryn is the mole, why did gang boss Perry go after her and not follow Robbie (who has the drugs)? He saw Robbie driving away from their secret meeting place!

So the FBI discovers that Cliff Broward committed the robberies while he was working as a trash collector, but they are unable to identify his criminal partner?? Haha, could it perhaps be his trash collector direct colleague, who called in sick exactly the day after the failed robbery? #TASK

‘Six-seven’: what does the latest slang mean (and should parents be worried)?
It originated in a rap song, then featured in South Park, and is now the bane of schoolteachers in the US and UK as pupils shout it out at random. How did it become such a thing?

Education is not about the 'what' of information transaction but the 'how' of the transmission.
Wow. Just wow.

"Students pay premium prices for information that AI now delivers instantly and for free. A business student can ask ChatGPT to explain supply chain optimization or generate market analysis in seconds. The traditional lecture-and-test model faces its Blockbuster moment."
