We are very disappointed that our child used AI for his English homework and when teacher asked child didn’t acknowledge.
Received a call from teacher and saw the work submitted (email). We had conversation with child who is very apologetic and understands wrong doing (9th grader). Child got really scared thinking they will be expelled so didn’t acknowledge using AI. Will be going to see teacher tomorrow to come clean apologize and take responsibility of wrong doing. Teacher mentioned child will be meeting the vice principal and this will be a warning. Will this go on sis and college applications. This is first time. Keep your negative comments to yourself as any human can make a mistake |

| This is why my child’s English teacher assigns all writing as in-class assignments. Teachers need to be smarter about this. |

Don’t worry, these things don’t go on college apps. |

| Teachers need to figure out assignments that can't utilize AI. They need to stop recycling assignments from 20 years ago. |

It can be from today. Doesn't have to be from 20 years ago. It is AI. OP. Teacher told you it would be a warning. Count this as a learning experience. Don't make excuses, but move on. |

Almost anything can utilize AI if a computer is involved in any way. Stop insulting teachers by saying they are recycling 20-year-old assignments. AI is evolving far faster than any human can. Teachers are trying their best to keep up, but it's like racing a tortoise vs. a cheetah. |

At my school an honor code violation restricts you from being able to join NHS or that department's honor society. Not sure if it is for all 4 years or just that year. You also serve a detention, and when you make up the assignment the most you can get it 90%. Do it again and the max on a retake is 70%. Third time, and you get the 0.
One time as a freshman will hopefully scare the daylights out of him so he never wants to do it again, but not much lasting punishment. |

Why are you even posting here with this kind of attitude? I'm certainly not going to help you. |

You should be pissed af him for cheating and basically lying to his teacher. Instead, you are worried about his "permanent record" and scolding us not to be mesn to your poor baby. You need to tell him to wise up. The teacher asked if anyone used AI because they knew he did. He lied by not coming clean. They should fail him for cheating then lying about it. Expulsion should be in order too. |

| Doesn't go on permanent record, hopefully teacher being disappointed and meeting with Vice Principal (Asst Principals at our HS), will scare him enough to never do it again |

+1 plus he's a 9th GRADER. It's his first mistake and he's still growing and maturing. There are adults who are still figuring the ins and outs of AI (not to mention the teachers as this PP states). Every google search presents an AI answer. We are all trying to wrap our heads around it. For me, I'm not too concerned about a little AI consultation here and there. The smart kids are still thinking and will come up with their own concepts and opinions. There are already completely stupid adults who don't think anymore and ask chatGPT everything (there's a whole DCUM thread for illustration) |

Interesting. My husband encourages this for corrections -
OP again child did the original work but ran through AI asking if answer follows the prompt and used the answer with few changes Honestly, what’s the difference between the editing Word automatically does versus what your child did. Was it grammar corrections or structure or entire premise? |
