I find it a huge problem for AI to be pushed to be banned, rather than a push towards guidance, training, and awareness around such a powerful tool. Alright let’s entertain the idea that AI will be banned in schools, (despite the fact that I guarantee many teachers will be using AI themselves), what happens when the child’s back at home? The hours away from school where they do have exposure to such tools? AI can faulter your ability to think and make you lazy, even more of a reason why teaching our youngsters to critically think and effectively use such tools is needed.

ChatGPT helped my daughter study for her chemistry test - in spite of her school’s bad decision to ban AI. For the record: I have a bachelor’s in chemistry, and I actually love helping her study. But last night, she needed something a little different. Something a little less... mom. (She was dealing with more than just school stress.) So I handed her a tool. And a little trust. “Tell ChatGPT what your test is on. Ask it to quiz you. This is the future. You deserve to try it.” She used it. It worked. She was calm, focused, and better prepared, because she was in charge. Her school may be banning AI, but we’re learning how to use it strategically at home. And that’s the real story playing out behind the scenes: → AI isn’t replacing thinking. → It’s giving our kids a way to practice thinking, on their terms. → It’s helping them rebuild agency when life feels messy and uncertain. We don’t need more bans. We need better guidance. And more trust in our kids’ ability to grow. If we want to build future-ready schools, we have to stop acting like the future is dangerous. #AIinEducation #ParentPerspective #StudentAgency #FutureOfLearning #edtech #instructionaldesign #aiforeducation
