I’ve been saying this for thirty years.
I ended up drafting an email that didn't really lean on research specific to grade school education, but expressed my concerns in the most basic terms.
I removed the personal details and have shared it as a template here for folks who might find it useful:

![Dear [TEACHER],
I want to make sure we're on the same page for the rest of the year, because I was surprised and disappointed to hear that you uploaded student projects to ChatGPT.
We have always found [SCHOOL] to be a place that encourages students to express themselves creatively, to be responsible and aware of how their actions affect others, and to be intellectually honest – doing their own work, rather than copying from others.
I know ChatGPT has been heavily marketed as an educational tool, but everything about it is the opposite of those values. AI tools are built by training models on stolen work. They have huge and terrible environmental costs, because their data centers generate enormous amounts of pollution and are cooled with drinking water. They're also incredibly dangerous: tools like ChatGPT have taught children how to start fires and even encouraged them to commit suicide.
And in a classroom setting, it teaches students that a machine can express their ideas better than they can. I told [ CHILD ] I was interested in seeing what they had to draw, and my heart sank when they told me "but I can't draw that pretty." Children deserve to draw what they imagine.
These environmental, ethical, and pedagogical concerns are why I don't want [ CHILD ] to use AI tools (or for you to use them on their behalf). For the same reasons, I respectfully ask that you stop using them in your classroom.
If you do plan to use AI this year, please send home a permission slip requesting consent. There are important privacy concerns when you upload student work into a for-profit service like ChatGPT.
Thank you,

Screening of an independent horror. Scene has the MC putting asparagus into a blender but doesn't turn it on.
Guy in front of me turns to a woman next to him and yells "you better not throw up, Rachel" and "Don't fucking do it!!"

I’m sad that Ozzy is gone, but it makes me happy to imagine the music he’s making in Heaven right now with Tiny Tim, Luciano Pavarotti, and John Philip Sousa

This post hit me where it hurts. The chorus of enthusiastic replies is a relieving balm.

“Cult following” in this case means people drank it and then died. I would still like to try it.
Beep (circa 1962-2010, 2012-2015): An amalgamated "fruit juice-based beverage" from Canada, that developed a cult following. It was made with a blend of orange, apple, apricot, prune, and pineapple juices, along with canola oil, corn starch, added orange pulp, & caramel coloring

This is a wonderful retelling of a truly incredible night
Finally wrote down my version of one of my favorite Chicago moments: the @mayoremanuel book signing with @dansinker.com. Post features cameos by @ourmaninchicago.bsky.social @acarvin.bsky.social and others.

Extremely relevant to my interests.
See that little hook underneath the "A"? It's called an ogonek and without it, my original design on the left says "Packages", which makes absolutely no sense. ...Unless I'm trying to say that I want paczki of pączki, which I obviously do.
Thanks to all my polish speaking friends for the heads up!
