With More Students Using AI, How Can Schools Promote Academic Integrity?

“AI has made it all the more easier to cheat, to cheat well, and to do so in a way that’s very difficult to detect,” said Stephens, who is also vice president for research of the nonprofit International Center for Academic Integrity. “But the emergence of AI doesn’t really change the challenges of moral or ethical functioning.”

How sad. I hope Bobby Kennedy can put a stop to this and start preparing HEALTHY meals for American children in school . . .

A few decades ago, many U.S. school cafeterias prepared meals from scratch for hundreds of students each day. As years passed, some kitchen staff watched fresh ingredients like flour and eggs disappear, replaced by boxes of pre-packaged, processed foods.​

Florida School District Banned Cell Phones and the Results Have Been Wild

A Florida school district that banned student cell phone use this school year is reporting fewer problems and better grades.

Broward County Public Schools banned any phone use, including at lunchtime.

“I’ve noticed a lot more creativity with students, I think their attention spans are a little longer, they have excellent conversations in their groups, those conversations are lasting longer, our class discussions are definitely a lot longer and they’re a lot deeper because no one’s really focused on checking their phone,” Dan Katz, who teaches drama and law at Fort Lauderdale High School, said.

School board member Allen Zeman said fights are down 17 percent from the same point a year ago. According to school administrators, he said, “the lack of cellphones is taking away an ability for people to organize fights and organize big numbers of people to get together and fight during or after school.

Zeman said academic achievement has improved throughout the schools because of the policy. “This year, at the halfway point, our gains are greater than they were, the gains, from last year,” Zeman said.

“I had a teacher write to us and say for the first time in 10 years, for each student in her classroom, she had two eyeballs watching her give a lecture,” he said.

A Broward County Schools news release said that banning cell phone use, even during lunch, led to “[p]rioritizing school as a place for learning that is distraction-free. This can help students stay focused on academics and maintain a learning mindset throughout the school day.”
