[quote=Anonymous]I am a high school teacher in a different district, but I think integrating AI into schools is not a good idea AT ALL.

1.) We are in an actual literacy crisis. Reading comprehension, writing skills, and critical thinking are just so low - it's scary. Students' ability to offload those things to AI is not going to help the situation that's for sure.

2.) And think about where this goes: Teacher makes lesson/assignment using AI. Student uses AI to complete the assignment. Teacher uses AI to grade the assignment. Repeat repeat repeat. Obviously this isn't what anyone really WANTS, but I don't think it's realistic to expect that this isn't going to happen. If other jobs have access to these tools to streamline their have-to-dos, I guess we have to open that up to teachers too?

And we can't have a situation where other jobs demand they can use it but ban teachers from it (for grading, for instance). I just think it gets icky when you take an environment like education that is so relationship and human centric and throw AI into the mix.

Dystopian, really.

I say this as a diehard NO AI WHATSOEVER teacher, but that's strictly because of my own personal moral (I mean the ENVIRONMENT?!?!?!??!) and philosophical values. We have admin and teachers that don't have the same values (which is fine -- to each their own), but the ripple effects on education moving forward are going to be tough to ignore.[/quote]
