what they’re doing to push back against the tech.

Classify it as a cheating tool.

Works in theory, but not in practice, as there are no tools that can tell 100% reliably if something was written by AI. Best way IMO to test students is via oral exams. Let them explain certain things and topics they allegedly wrote about in their thesis; that way you can quickly see who actually bothered to learn and understand and not only let their thesis write by AI.

It’s also important for parents to genuinly take an interest in their children’s education. Help them understand why we don’t use AI for school-work. And be there for them when they need help so they don’t have to resort to AI when it feels hopeless.

I remember a study we all read when I was working as a sub teacher. Ages 7 - 12. How much time does an average parent spend talking to their child on an average day. Giving commands is not talking for the purpose of the study.

5 minutes. It was 5-6 minutes. It explains a lot doesn’t it.
