I don’t see the equivalency of “If students can’t use AI, then teachers shouldn’t either.”
Environmental and ethical issues aside, the student is there to learn and the teacher is there to teach. These are not equal roles. This assignment presumably is for the student to demonstrate knowledge and develop skills. The teacher isn’t being tested or evaluated on their ability to draw a cartoon raccoon.
Because teachers are role models. Kids dont see adults as meat vehicles delivering content in the same way an accountant quantufies this year's kpi's on student success rates. Kids want to emulate, will emulate. They need positive reinforcement by those they look up to. And if the teacher is using ai, the student will begin to question that more than the lesson itself.
This is like saying teachers shouldn't drive because they are role models and their underage students will try to drive too.
You aren't allowed to drive because you're a child. The teacher is allowed to drive because they're an adult and have a license. You aren't allowed to use AI for the assignments because you're a student. The teacher is allowed to.
Kids see adults using Google and the internet And books and calculators and phones to do their jobs. Does that mean all of that should be allowed on tests or assignments?
