Seems like these parents are really doing their kid a disservice.  He broke the rules but they are going scorched earth to try to bail him out.  How are we going to maintain any public school standards when parents act like this?  This is why we can’t keep good teachers.[/quote]

He used AI.  That's not breaking the rules if there isn't a rule. 
What does this have to do with teacher retention? Stop being so dramatic.

if you don't want kids to use AI make a rule.

One article says that the parents claim the passages in the handbook about AI were added later.  The other doesn’t say that.  Neither has evidence to support the claim.

But either way the school presumably had a policy about not submitting things you didn’t write as your own work.  Whether it is written by AI, your grandma or someone you bought it from on the internet, it’s still plagiarism.  So unless there weren’t policies about plagiarism the school is in the right.[/quote]

This is what the school wrote in its motion to dismiss.  Sounds like the student definitely was on notice about restrictions on the use of AI.

RNH was in enrolled in an AP English language class during the Fall 2023. During the first week of class, RNH and his classmates were given a copy of HHS’ written policy on Academic Dishonesty and AI expectations. The students are clearly informed that this policy applies to all classes, not simply ELA classes. The policy was distributed in RNH’s class on the same day a PowerPoint presentation entitled “AI & Schoolwork” was presented to RNH’s class. This is the PowerPoint presentation referenced in paragraph 129 of the Verified Compliant.

Attendance records show that RNH attended the class at which the policy was distributed and the PowerPoint presentation was shown. Furthermore, the written policy was also posted on Google Classroom, on online portal containing policies which is accessible to HHS’ students. It was also distributed at Parent's Night which was held in September 2023. If RNH’s parents were present at Parent’s Night, a copy would have been provided to them.[/quote]
