Part of this was having faculty assigned to actually use and engage with AI in depth/ through different platforms to see what it can and can't do and figure out ways to deal with and address its use. Meeting students where they are with all the information -- instead of just preaching.

He did a photo first bc the bad results are so easy to see (and funny = engagement!) and then moved into more subtle stuff. My understanding was that this came out of the school's faculty education and development efforts that focused on facing AI head on.

Basically: he logged in to some gen AI program (?? I don't use it so this part is fuzzy to me) on the screen in the classroom and did a prompt -- then had the class all yell out all the mistakes and errors in the results.

My 7th grader's teacher did a really engaging presentation about how inaccurate it was and my son (who I have been evangelizing for ages about how terrible it is) came home saying "AI sucks and it's gonna make you fail" and NOW we start on "it's also unethical and not fun and makes you dumb."

Fair, but I just prefer to ask colleges to look behind the scores of kids in the top 10% to differentiate them rather than insisting on making the tests harder to eke out the 1% of potential students who are just the beat at test prep.

I suppose, though im concerned about 1) undue stress on teens forced into a race to learn “higher content levels” for the test that aren’t necessary for them to know and 2) unfair advantage to rich Families who can pay for tutoring to master the “higher” level content just for the test.

We absolutely do NOT have to differentiate *on the basis of standardized test scores.*

On a standardized test, students with accommodations are already there with a proctor for their extra time accommodation. If all the students get the same “accommodation” then the same proctor can simply proctor the exam for all.

This Is a fair point but… Maybe we just don’t need to “differentiate” among the top 10% of kids bc clearly they are all very capable in different ways of succeeding in college and we should expect colleges to look past an aribtrary number once they are at that level of achievement?

My point is that most workplaces just don‘t have a work stream that requires a person to do solo work on an extremely tight timeline without also having/ offering assistance, support, and the potential for flexibility or assistance.

If you actually read my response, I wasn’ arguing that ADA requires extra time. That would be irrelevant because my argument is that test-taker *without* ada disabilities should get the extra time anyway.

Extra time might reduce careless mistakes by letting a slower test taker do a final read through double-check, or allow a slower thinker to answer all the questions to the best of their ability instead of running out of time.

And most people won’t do that because if you don’t know the answer, extra time doesn’t help you get it right and thus isn’t an advantage.

This is absolutely not true except in very specific circumstances. deadlines are common but so are requests for extra time, extra help, collaboration, and additional resources.

Just give everyone the extra time. What is the justification for timing anyway?
