How AI Challenges Schools to Rethink Student Achievement
EdSurge

EDITOR BRIEF
AI can produce essays and other work once used to identify high achievers, raising questions about what schools should reward. The author recalls moving from doing the minimum to pursuing challenging English studies after a teacher recognized their interest in reading and writing, and argues that AI’s effects should be considered for all students.
INSIGHTS
