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.
