Teachers using AI to grade?

[Anonymous]

My teens have said they think several of their teachers are using AI to grade. One teacher has told the kids she is doing this. My teen found mistakes in the AI grading (in one instance it appears the AI was given a different rubric than the correct grading rubric, in another instance the AI fails to recognize that my teen had input the answer but with an extra bit of space before she started typing so it graded it as no answer provided). My kid pointed it out to the teacher a while ago and th teacher said they’d look at it but hasn’t changed the grade yet.
Are there rules or guidelines around using AI to grade? Is this common now? I also really wonder how many kids are not checking to see if the AI correctly graded them. I bet my other child would not.

To be fair, many human teachers grade against the wrong rubric too.

I’m an English teacher. There’s no guidance about AI use, but I know some teachers use it to grade essays. I don’t respect it, but I understand it. The workload for English teachers is crippling and class sizes are only increasing.

The Policy Management Committee is reviewing changes to the Educational Technology policy:

No there are no rules. Humans also make mistakes as well when they grade, so I do not see the problem.

Yes, many teachers are using AI to grade. As other posters have said, there are no rules preventing this.

I appreciate the workload and th answers. I’ve told my kids to nicely raise it with th teacher if they think the AI has made a mistake in grading.

The kids are wondering if AI is grading them whether they’d do better if they used AI to generate the answers — I would guess the answer is yes, but I’ve also told them it’s not about the grades. Wish the colleges felt the same way!

I don't understand what the teacher using AI, which isn't cheating, has to do with a student cheating.

Yes, if your kids are poor students, then cheating would give them better grades. That's always been true.

If your student finds an error in the grading, whether it was done by human or AI, they can raise the issue. That doesn't give them permission to cheat.

Yes, they do especially for essays. It’s infair as the ai is not always accurate.

Kids are unfairly being accused of cheating. Put it in one ai and it says it was ai, put it in another and it says it’s not.

When my kids were there they often only fit oeer review...or occasionally ',I will only write comments on page 1!'. I would have welcomed AI review.

It is kind of crazy...if the kids aren't writing them and the teachers aren't reading them
