Just realized everyone in my Python class keeps skipping the error messages
They just copy the red text into Google instead of reading it, which is why they're stuck on the same loops for days. Has anyone else found a good way to actually learn how to read those things?

Wait, are people really googling the whole red wall of text instead of just reading the last line first? That feels like overcomplicating things. The last line is where Python tells you exactly what broke, like "NameError: name 'x' is not defined" or "IndexError: list index out of range." If you just look at the last line and the line number it points to, you can usually fix it in seconds. The rest of the trace is just context, not the actual problem.
