A peak into life in the ai term paper trenches 🧵

3 student zoom interviews today about suspected ai use in papers. All three were flagged by @pangram. Here’s how it turned out:

With student A.I. use/abuse now ubiquitous, professors and teachers are killing off take-home essays and papers. Students are writing inside the classroom, often by hand.

It's part of the big rethink happening on tech and learning. My new report here:

We're likely to see a big political win tonight for academic rigor, in SF https://t.co/cz94n9bYYd

I'm launching a new project on how A.I. is changing writing instruction. Professors and high school teachers -- we need your help! Please fill out this brief survey: https://t.co/ks2DcGcFX8

Increasingly being submitted AI-written articles. Even the worst human writing has an abundance of signals about the writer in the choices they make. AI-written pieces give no signals and that is deeply weird to read. Some common features include...

3. Many teachers oppose these laws and find quiet ways to resist them. But Boismier made a spectacle of her protest, and paid a heavy price. She is now mounting a federal lawsuit. I hope you'll read this story. https://t.co/Ge1EqYF8uw

1. What does it mean to protest in America today? In rare cases, it can be deadly. It can also upend a life in profound ways, including losing one's livelihood and career.

That's what happened to Summer Boismier, a former teacher and the subject of my new piece.

2. Boismier may be the only teacher in America to have lost her professional license as a result of the 20+ state laws that now restrict the curriculum around race, gender, sexuality and American history. https://t.co/Ge1EqYF8uw

Since everyone is talking about my depressing article, here's a counterpoint: My NYC public school 3rd grader this afternoon: "We're learning to be skeptical. But to be skeptical, you have to have evidence. Otherwise, people will be skeptical of YOU!"

Check out the whole story here. Many surprising details and lots to debate. https://t.co/Db7S6KrMGp

The decline in English-class book reading is very real. We did a deep dive, and found many teens assigned just 1 or 2 books per year. Instead, they're reading excerpts on a screen, like this one, 859 words of "Beloved."

@MAOrthofer @nytimes Thanks for pointing this out. People really focus on what the curriculum laws means for race and LGBTQ issues, but they’re much broader than that and also take aim at sexuality in general.

@dylanmatt @open_phil @mattsclancy @jddwor wow, congratulations. You've had an amazing, impactful run, and this is an exciting next step

A few months ago, I started to hear from history teachers that the curriculum materials they’d used for years were being pulled from the market — or that they were not being allowed to use them because of political pressures. My investigation of this trend published today ...

[Dana Goldstein @DanaGoldstein]

@CurriculumIP @rsnathanson1 @nytimes Yes, aware of all this and the helpful report! We’re focusing the callout on high school to manage volume and have a narrow enough field to make journalistic comparisons easier, but we share the interest in the whole spectrum. It’s a concern of mine as the parent of a 3rd grader.
