🚨 University professors have been saying AI is completely destroying learning and that we'll soon have an AI-powered, semi-illiterate workforce. Here's a glimpse into the educational apocalypse:

"Sarah, a freshman at Wilfrid Laurier University in Ontario, said she first used ChatGPT to cheat during the spring semester of her final year of high school. (...) After getting acquainted with the chatbot, Sarah used it for all her classes: Indigenous studies, law, English, and a “hippie farming class” called Green Industries. “My grades were amazing,” she said. “It changed my life.” Sarah continued to use AI when she started college this past fall. Why wouldn’t she? Rarely did she sit in class and not see other students’ laptops open to ChatGPT. Toward the end of the semester, she began to think she might be dependent on the website. She already considered herself addicted to TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, and Reddit, where she writes under the username maybeimnotsmart. “I spend so much time on TikTok,” she said. “Hours and hours, until my eyes start hurting, which makes it hard to plan and do my schoolwork. With ChatGPT, I can write an essay in two hours that normally takes 12.”

-

"By November, Williams estimated that at least half of his students were using AI to write their papers. Attempts at accountability were pointless. Williams had no faith in AI detectors, and the professor teaching the class instructed him not to fail individual papers, even the clearly AI-smoothed ones. “Every time I brought it up with the professor, I got the sense he was underestimating the power of ChatGPT, and the departmental stance was, ‘Well, it’s a slippery slope, and we can’t really prove they’re using AI,’” Williams said. “I was told to grade based on what the essay would’ve gotten if it were a ‘true attempt at a paper.’ So I was grading people on their ability to use ChatGPT.”

-

AI in education is a serious topic, and many schools and universities are blindly jumping into the "AI-first" wave without considering short and long-term consequences.

It would be great to hear more from teachers and educators to understand potential solutions.

This might be a great opportunity for rethinking the education system and how students are assessed.

It’s easy to end an email or close a faculty meeting with: “Thank you for all you do.”

I know I’ve done it.

But as we move into Teacher Appreciation Week, I’d encourage school leaders to be specific with the teachers in their building about what they truly appreciate.

Because appreciation becomes meaningful when it’s specific.

When we say, “Thanks for all you do,” consider what that really includes:

It takes hours to plan engaging lessons.

It takes time and care to provide meaningful, individualized feedback.

It takes patience to respond to parent emails—always with professionalism and compassion.

It takes composure to handle immaturity, foolishness, and end-of-year energy.

It takes heart to carry the weight of students who are navigating challenges far beyond their years.

This week, I hope teachers are celebrated—whether it’s donuts in the lounge, a free lunch, a gift card, or simply a moment to breathe.

But more than that, I hope we remember that teachers earn our respect and appreciation all year long.

They do extraordinary work in the face of extraordinary challenges.

This week, let’s go beyond saying “thank you for all you do.”

Let’s name it. Let’s notice it. Let’s honor it.
