Message: [QUOTE="M.S.G., post: 5308713, member: 10660"] I have a colleague who uses AI to make all of her slides for units and tests and quizzes, as an ELA teacher I just can’t, it’s a line I am not comfortable crossing. I made the switch last year to 7th grade after essentially 20 years of high school. It was refreshing, kids not going to the bathroom to vape every 10 minutes. These next 2 HS classes should be the last of the Covid-kids so to speak. Those kids were sent home 5 years ago and left to their own devices. My former HS changed its whole approach to address “engagement” in the classroom, basically as a teacher you weren’t allowed to stand and lecture and if you did you got dinged - I did because I refused - they want everyone doing “stations” and rotations which isn’t teaching to me. I teach how I was taught and I’m damn good at it. I feel that all of those “new” fangled classroom techniques are for teachers who can’t teach. As far as plagiarism, as someone said earlier, these kids run it through 4 different types of AI systems to avoid detection. That being said, I’ve always had the stance of: it’s actually way more work to cheat than just writing the paper. Good luck convincing a 16 year old of that however. I tried desperately to leave the field last summer before I took this middle school job, it was refreshing until like April and then they all collectively became devil’s spawn. I got like 14-15 left, genuinely don’t know either how I will make it there, and also can’t answer what education will even look like at that time. [/QUOTE]
