University professor Cláudia Lucas Chéu writes about the growing difficulties she faces when trying to teach students who show little interest in learning. The text addresses the frustration of a near-retirement professor upon realizing that students prefer to use tools such as Wikipedia or ChatGPT instead of valuing the experience and knowledge transmitted through a teacher's voice.
The chronicle reflects an increasingly present reality in educational institutions, where technology and online resources compete directly with the traditional role of the teacher. The author expresses a sense of powerlessness in the face of this paradigm shift in education, questioning the future of the relationship between teachers and students.
