My husband teaches high school English and the KeyNote speaker in August was all "AI in the classroom". Matthew was enraged. The District gave students permission to use AI on essays. BUT on the final essay exam, there is no internet. So, Matt will get judged on if they pass / fail. Makes no sense

It's nuts. "Permission to use AI on essays" is like "permission to use an app to do every math problem." It potentially short circuits basically all real learning. New tech changes how we teach, but AI was not designed as an education tool and there's been no meaningful discussion about its use.
