Section 1
The big idea
Right now, every teacher in your school might have a different rule about AI use. That is not because they are confusing on purpose — it is because AI is so new that schools are still figuring out what works. Your job: ask before you use, every class, every assignment.
Real examples
- English class: AI for brainstorming okay, AI for the actual writing not okay.
- Math class: AI to explain a concept okay, AI to do the problems not okay.
- Science: AI to help structure a report okay, AI to write the experiment not okay.
- History: many teachers allow AI for research help with citation, never for the actual essay.
Try it yourself
Pick your hardest class. Email or talk to that teacher and ask their AI policy specifically. Save the answer. Now you have a clear rule to follow — no more guessing.

AI and Your School's AI Policy Decoded
Section 3
The big idea
AI can summarize your school's policy clearly, but the safest move is asking the teacher when in doubt.
Some examples
- Prompt: 'Summarize this school AI policy in 5 bullets and 3 dos and don'ts.'
- Ask AI what counts as 'using AI for editing' vs 'AI writing the work.'
- Have AI suggest a 1-line AI use disclosure for assignments.
Try it!
Find your school's AI policy. Have AI summarize it. Bring questions to one teacher to confirm interpretation.
