ChatGPT in schools: students aren’t the ones cheating
Every day there’s a new story. Grades canceled, plagiarism claims, parents panicking. Here in the U.S., we’ve even seen lawsuits after students were punished for using AI. That’s not a small thing, it shows the system is out of control. Stick with me until the end, because the problem isn’t who cheats, but who dumped chaos on schools.
I believe it’s not the students who are guilty. And not the teachers either. Let me tell you why. Artificial intelligence was launched like a toy, with no rules and no time to adapt. Everyone improvises. Some districts ban it, then change their minds, like in New York City. One month it’s banned, the next it’s part of the lessons. I’ve talked with high school teachers here in the U.S., and they all say the same thing: it’s impossible to teach with traffic lights changing color at random.
ChatGPT is in classrooms because it’s free, fast, and easy to use. Students use it because it works. Teachers block it because they have no clear rules or training. And when rules finally arrive, they’re late. In Massachusetts, AI guidelines came only in August 2025. Two years too late. And as you know, what starts here always ends up in Europe, bigger and faster.
There’s another side. AI detectors make mistakes, flagging students who just write differently or aren’t native speakers. Tell me how your school handles AI. Clear rules or total confusion? Write it in the comments.
And then there are essays graded by AI, because teachers don’t admit it but they let it do the work. Here in the U.S., in Massachusetts, about 1,400 MCAS essays were graded wrong by an automated system. They had to redo everything.
It’s a dead end. Students try to survive, teachers punish, parents argue. I want the opposite: clear and shared rules. We need to decide when and how to use AI, what “cheating” really means, and how to grade without fear.
