Fr. Just do the homework in school, proctored, if it matters so much to the teacher.
Ultimately the kids will get a test, and it should include an essay section, which they obviously have to write on the spot. I don't really think it matters how much homework they did or didn't do or what tools they used to "cheat", as long as they can perform come test day that's what matters.
do you think someone will be capable to write an essay if it is literally the first essay they ever write, since they were using AI all the previous times? This is like reading solved math equations and believing that in a test you'll be able to solve them on the spot, without having tried to solve any by yourself before.
No! And they'll fail, retake the class, and learn from their mistakes (relying on AI completely instead of using AI for enablement). I see no problems.
This is something our whole generation will learn about and understand, like has already been done for email, social media, the internet, search engines, etc. Students are just the most concentrated because they are young, and this technology applies to solving homework problems.
Failing a class or a year is highly disruptive all around. If a large number of students literally lose the ability to write original work come test day, is the school going to fail half the student body? No, that's crazy talk. It would be considered a disaster by the school, the parents, and the wider society if it was widespread. Schools put rules in place to ensure that your work is your own mainly to prevent children from doing stupid things that will make them fail on test day.
