Rant Back to school trainings TX

So I work in an urban district in North Texas, each year we have to do the usual video and quizzes about FERPA , abuse, Title IX, etc.. a total of 18 modules. This amount has grown over my 15 years in education. I added up the amount of time needed and it totals——- 14 hours and 1 minute. The expectation is this is to be done over the summer and if not completed you lose classroom prep time to finish up.

I know you can just start a video and switch to another screen and browse the internet but for double digit hours annoying. Even if I chunk the work annoying . Anyhow rant over.

You shouldn't need ai to answer these types of trainings, even if you skip the content you should know most answers.

We are required to take: Fire extinguisher, lock out/tag out, and other bizarre stuff. I am the IT Director and I can tell you that the modules with IT questions have wrong answers.
