Thank you for articulating and acting on your values and principles so clearly.

I also keep copies of achievements, recommendations, 'thank you' emails, etc during all my jobs. Once you've left, you can't access the email for the one crowning statement of working with you that you wanted for your CV. #LTHEChat

If someone says to you, "what are you doing about students' use of AI?" ask them, "do you think that this should be my problem? How good do you think my response can be? Should it not be up to legislators & administrators to defend against a commercial industry's attack on your child's education?"
