The rise of AI tools in education: benefits, risks, and what schools should do next
Compare viewpoints across four writers
secondary school teacher
AI is useful in class, but only if students are explicitly taught how to use it ethically and thoughtfully.
In my classroom, AI is neither a miracle nor a menace; it’s a tool that amplifies whatever habits students already have. When I let my class use an AI assistant for planning essays, the strongest writers used it to test outlines and spot gaps in argument. The weaker ones copied the first fluent paragraph they saw and assumed the job was finished. That’s why banning it feels naïve: it doesn’t build judgement, it just drives the practice underground. Instead, we need to teach ‘prompt literacy’ alongside source evaluation—how to ask precise questions, how to verify claims, and how to cite assistance. I also set tasks AI cannot complete well, like reflecting on a personal experience or comparing two conflicting classroom discussions. If we treat AI as a calculator for words, we’ll get shallow work; if we teach it as a thinking partner, we’ll get better learners.
Which writer argues that prohibiting AI use is a simplistic response because it fails to develop students’ ability to make good choices and may simply push misuse out of sight?
Which writer reasons that AI may raise performance for some learners but could also widen existing gaps unless schools address unequal access and skills?
Which writer is most sceptical about the speed of AI adoption, suggesting that commercial pressure is pushing schools to trial systems before asking basic accountability and safety questions?
Which writer supports a phased policy that maintains confidence among parents and staff by permitting limited uses of AI while requiring students to document how they used it?
