Section 1
The big idea
Your school keeps lots of data on you (grades, attendance, behavior). AI is increasingly used to analyze this data. You have rights about how it is used (under FERPA in the US).
Some examples
- AI may flag students at risk of failing.
- AI may track attendance patterns.
- AI may analyze behavior data for trends.
- Under FERPA, you (and parents) have the right to see your records and ask for corrections.
Try it!
Look up FERPA with a parent. Talk about whether you would ever want to see your school records.
