Can We Make Teaching Great Again?

Several signs suggest that the Intellectual Ability of our students may be decreasing, some even say that students are becoming 'Dumb and Dumber': the IQ is steadily declining (the reverse Flynn effect), Internet is becoming a database of enormous blobs of 'dark knowledge' with dubious truth value what students do not understand, but what they still should use, under enormous pressure of advertising students lack critical thinking ability and can manage only the imaginary world behind their mobile/console/VR headset screens; problems appear already in pre-university education, results of the last PISA tests were in many European countries much worse than in previous years. There are umpteen explanations/reasons provided - the Covid (which has not gone anywhere), proliferation of generative AI systems, especially their most common representative - the chatGPT, which undercut truth in Internet and has made questionable some of the cornerstones of university education - tests. The Covid seems to be eternal, chatGPT is already 'out of bottle' and we have to live with it and understand its inner mechanics in order to use it the best way. In the following are analyzed current problems in IT education and discussed ideas for improving the situation.
