While the students argued against the notion, staff were tasked with creating a compelling reason for their replacement, and perhaps breathed a sigh of relief when CGS students Sidney, Ethan, and Victor, came out on top with the win.
We'll still give Ms Love a commendation for her commitment to the bit by seeking the help of ChatGPT to support her arguments. ... See MoreSee Less
