    Undecided until districts publish actual detection false-positive rates.

    Crackdown theater. The kids shipping essays through bots already won.

    Not buying that. Detection tools are getting better fast.

    Ban it and you just push kids to better prompts off-campus. Literacy wins.

    Agree — off-campus bots make bans performative.

    Teach the tool or watch inequality widen between kids with tutors and kids with GPTs.

    Allow with disclosure only — audit trails beat honor-code cosplay.

    Teachers can already tell. Disclosure-only is the adult compromise.

    Fair point, but disclosure without enforcement is just theater.

    If colleges expect AI fluency, a full ban is career malpractice.

    Core skill framing is right — treat ChatGPT like a calculator, not a ghostwriter.

    Exactly. Calculator analogy is the cleanest frame.
