spec/factories/school_classes.rb throws an error:

FactoryBot.define do
factory :school_class do
title "Computer Science" # undefined method title
room_number 5
end
end

The only way I found to fix this was forcing the program to use factory_bot v. 4.8.2 with factory_bot_rails 4.8.2.

Once those version are in gemfile.lock then students can do their migrations, whereas before rake db:migrate and similar commands with bundle exec would simply throw errors traced to factor_bot gem.

Hi, just wanted to point out that config.action_controller.permit_all_parameters = true exists in the config/application.rb file for this lab, not enforcing strong parameters.

This is not an issue but a suggestion. Up to this point in the curriculum we never saw a .new in the new action. It looks weird at first (even if understandable) to have (without previous explanation):
def new
@Student = Student.new
end

Also when we are not familiar with the syntax it can look like we are gonna hit a conflit while creating a row with the create action right after on the same instance.
It would be nice to have a little paragraph in the lesson about this. thanks
