The Family Talk on AI and Academic Integrity
School rules vary by classroom. Align at home on transparency and ownership before something ambiguous happens.
Define “your work”
Typing AI paragraphs into an essay isn’t the same as brainstorming with a tutor bot—spell out what counts as theirs.
When in doubt, disclose
Teach kids to ask teachers how AI fits each assignment. A quick email beats a zero later.
Celebrate honest drafts
Praise rough sentences they authored over polished paste-ins. Values follow attention.
