Hello everybody! We hope you are doing well and that you are enjoying the warm weather. Today, we want to discuss an important issue with you that many people seem to disagree about: AI in schools.
Some college students in the United States are upset because their professors are using ChatGPT, a computer tool that helps write things like notes and slides and even checks students’ work. At the same time, students are not allowed to use it for their own work. This feels unfair to many students.
Ella Stapleton, a student at Northeastern University, found that her professor used ChatGPT to create class materials. The rules said students couldn’t use AI, but the professor did—without telling them. She felt this was dishonest, so she told the school and even asked for her money back for the class, but the school said no.
Other students have noticed the same thing. One student saw that her teacher used ChatGPT to grade her paper and write a nice comment—without reading it carefully. This made her feel like the teacher didn’t care about her real work. Some professors admit that AI saves them time, especially when they have lots of students. They say it helps them do their jobs better, and that they still check the work.
But not all teachers agree on how or when AI should be used. Some think it’s fine for making slides or practice quizzes, while others think it should never be used for grading. Many say it’s important to be honest with students about how AI is used.
Schools are now trying to make new rules about AI. Everyone agrees that AI can help, but real human teaching and feedback still matter most.
Please feel free to talk about AI with your teachers at BRIDGE! Have a great day.
