High school students should be able to opt out of AI written assignments without consequence and be given man made assignments with appropriate curriculum for a high school student. I’m a sophomore at Bandon Oregon’s high school and I and many others in this school have been given AI written assignments that are below the level we should be taught at, incomplete, inconsistent, and in many cases when we have questions about the assignment the teacher or substitute is unable to help because they themselves don’t know because they didn’t write the assignments. Generative AI also supports the following so I don't think schools should be supporting this.

  • Racism
  • Violence towards women
  • Homophobia
  • Child predators
  • Suicide
  • Murder
  • Environmental destruction
  • Legal grey areas with copyright

AI is a tool not a substitute for a teacher. I have students in the district who speak constantly about how AI has become a crutch that Bandon School district uses because did doesn't have teachers. Glad to see students standing up for their own education! I support this.

As a Parent, Full chest I agree. AI written assignments not only are a Lazy Excuse for Teaching. AI is Known for being obscenely inaccurate to the point of straight misinformation. So not only does the kid get Bad Education they get Education they have to Unlearn Later.

We shouldn’t have to suffer consequences just because we don’t want to hurt the e environment or humanity.

I don't go to Bandon High School anymore but AI assignments shouldn't exist. It is ruining the environment.

AI can absolutely be misused, just like the internet or smartphones can, but saying it has only one use ignores how many real-world things it already helps with. AI is used in medical research sometimes, accessibility tools for disabled people, language translation, education (mainly for getting a more professional format for the assignment designed), coding assistance, fraud detection, weather prediction, and assisting with some creative work. It doesn’t replace human intelligence if used right, t’s a tool that depends on how people use it. If someone uses it lazily, yes, it can make them less thoughtful and seem dumb. But if used properly, it can help people learn faster, solve problems, and create things they couldn’t easily do by themselves.

AI only has one use and that is to make the human race dumber than a gold fish

EXACTLY. She is a attention seeker who doesn't do research. By the way, as someone who goes to the same school as her, this girl is the same person who thinks that people she hates or has different views from her are as evil as the Wehrmacht and Japanese Empire from WW2. I also shall point out she sent an email to every kid in the high school(myself included as she emailed all 4 grades) trying to get people to sign this petition containing misinformation, and yeah, when you read it. it sounds like she doesn't actually wanna do schoolwork. because our school does use Ai to help make assignments, and she's the only person I've seen who has an actual issue with that. because like I just said, she's basically saying "I don't wanna do school work, because it uses Ai to help make it." I bet if she ran the U.S government, it'd be a dictatorship. The stuff she claims of "Ai supports all these extreme bad things" is false, because if I asked Ai to be supportive of those bad things, it'd say "I'm sorry, but I can't do that" as it is required to be unbiased. heavily appreciate you commenting what you said, you stated the facts perfectly and did a better job describing what I would actually say. Thank you so much, actually.
