One signal

Berkeley High School does not have a single schoolwide policy for generative AI, according to an opinion piece in The Berkeley High Jacket, leaving students to navigate different rules from different teachers.

Why it matters

The article argues for clear boundaries that distinguish acceptable uses, such as some study support, from work that replaces the thinking an assignment is meant to develop. Its useful point is less “ban the chatbot” than “stop making students guess”: schools need consistent rules and teachers need to explain the learning purpose behind them.

Discuss: Should schools set one clear AI policy for every class, or should each subject decide its own rules?
