Punitive AI bans can drive student use underground
Claim
Punitive school AI bans can drive student use underground and make it harder for teachers to model responsible use or set learning-centered boundaries.
Stance
Supported by the source articles as an AI-in-education claim.
Evidence
- What Students Want Teachers to Know reports students saying that bans and criminalization make AI use shameful, hidden, and less teachable.
- What Students Want Teachers to Know supports this claim through its discussion of AI literacy, assessment, implementation, or learning design in context.
Practical implication
AI policy should create honest, supervised spaces for guidance and boundary-setting instead of relying only on detection and punishment.
