“I would love for a way to have some kind of automatic way to send messages to parents that’s just like one click,” she says. "Otherwise, there’s too much red tape.”
I think that would be nice too.

Educators are deeply concerned about the impact social media has on students' mental health, and believe those negative effects are another reason to limit access to phones at school. But, according to the NEA survey, the biggest concern about social media use in school is the constant disruptions to learning.
I agree 100%. Even growing up for me when social media was fairly new, the toll it took on many people's mental health because of Instagram especially was crazy and so sad to see.

“Students are so reassured by that sound. They're flipping it over and looking at the screen without even realizing that they're doing it,” says Gilzow.
Plus, they may hear it from someone else's phone, but think it's theirs. They are constantly flipping their phones to check.

This dependency worsened during remote learning after COVID shut down schools—and followed students back into the classroom.
Absolutely! That is huge. Once COVID hit, people became more attached to cell phones than ever before.

Educators are financially strapped, so higher pay is very important. But we also want to have safe, stable learning environments, and we want people to trust and have faith that we can do the job that we've been hired to do.
Absolutely. We need to have a reliable team, parents, administrators, staff members, etc. if we want our students to succeed.

behavioral challenges in the classroom have been on the rise in terms of frequency and severity, and schools have largely been ill-equipped to manage it.
I believe that as a school district, we are lucky enough to get a para if someone is having extreme behaviors, but some behaviors go without being helped because they are "mild", but it can be a lot of work to continue to correct these behaviors and exhausting.

Not only has the workload increased exponentially, so has micromanagement, says Nicholas Cream, a social studies teacher in Holyoke, Mass. “It’s always just one more thing added to our plate. And w
All of those things in the graph are so valid. There is so much that goes into teacher that people don't understand so it makes sense that it causes so much stress.

“If teachers struggle, instruction suffers, and students don’t learn as they should,” Reinke explains. ”When there aren’t enough teachers, schools may hire uncertified staff or increase class sizes, making effective instruction and learning less likely. Disruptive behavior also spreads—kids in disorderly classrooms carry those habits into the next grade.”
Exactly. If are experiencing burnout, students are the most affected by it.

says Elsa Batista, a world language teacher in Newington, Conn., who also spoke to reporters. “We are strong, resilient, and creative, but we need support, we need help in our classrooms. Right now, that’s not happening, and we cannot afford to lose more teachers.”
I absolutely agree. Yet, there is still no help. We are at a shortage and can't understand why it's still happening.

Teenagers also report talking to generative AI about relationships, identity, and sexuality, including to find answers to questions they’re afraid to ask adults and to have the feeling of talking to a friend who won’t judge them
They may not judge you, but it's also still a computer. It's not a real person who has feelings and may prevent you from doing something that you shouldn't do. For example, if you are fighting with a friend and you hit them for no reason, you can manipulate ChatGPT to be on your side.

A key task for psychologists, Aguilar said, will be to study how using AI tools relates to students’ motivation to learn. Intelligent tutoring systems still lag far behind human teachers, Barnes said, in their ability to detect whether a student is feeling frustrated, anxious, or uncertain about the content they’re learning.
One thing I wonder is if AI will eventually take away some jobs in education.

OATutor—built by Zachary Pardos, PhD, an associate professor of education at the University of California, Berkeley, and his colleagues—uses generative AI to learn from an instructor’s own teaching style and materials, then creates new and improved worksheets and lesson plans
I am all for lightening the work load for teachers because we have so many things to do constantly. Making work a little easier by creating it to your style is very intriguing. As a teacher, you still would need to proof read it and fix it if needed.
-
These AI-powered systems promise to help personalize the learning experience for each student, tailoring style, pace, and assessment to the individual and making lessons more accessible to students learning English or those with disabilities
Another helpful tool that personalizes students' learning with their scores from beginning of the year testing is IXL. Many of the teachers utilize that in my district for math and reading.
-
On the bright side, educators are increasingly relying on AI such as Curipod, Gradescope, and Twee to automate certain tasks and lighten their workload
I have never heard of these tools and would be curious to know more about them.
-
A majority of teachers surveyed by the Center for Democracy and Technology, a nonprofit focused on technology policy, said they have used AI detection software to check whether a student’s work was their own, but those tools can also be fallible—in a way that could exacerbate inequities
That is a huge struggle. I've noticed that students are getting flagged for using "--" to separate sentences. What if they are flagged but it's actually their work?
-
Among adolescents, the use of generative AI is already widespread. Of the 7 in 10 who reported using at least one such tool in a 2024 Common Sense Media survey of 1,045 teenagers ages 13 to 18, homework help was the most common reason.
AI can be so helpful with homework, IF we use it correctly. It could be so great for students if they are at home, really having a tough time with a math problem. AI could help the student solve the problem in a way that doesn't give them the answer, but instead they are only using it to copy the answers.

How are kids forming a relationship with these AIs, what does that look like, and how might that impact the ability of AIs to teach?”
There are so many apps students can use on their tablets and phones outside of school that can really impact their lives. Forming relationships with computer generated tools can potentially cause a struggle with their social skills in school.
-
They are also exploring whether educators can leverage tools such as ChatGPT without hindering the broader goals of learning.
We need to remember that it's a tool for us to use and not a solution.
-
AI has been used in classrooms for years, quietly powering learning management tools, such as Google Classroom, Canvas, and Turnitin.
Like I said, there are many useful tools that AI can generate. In my classroom, we use Google Classroom all the time and it is very helpful!
-
“Teachers are facing a room full of people who are very much at the cutting edge of a technology.”
Should we use it to make workload easier for teachers, or should we avoid it to ensure the work is authentic and human-made?
-
With easy and free-to-access tools like ChatGPT, everything related to teaching, learning, and assessment is subject to change.
In my opinion, there can be many positive uses for AI, but I really struggle with things such as ChatGPT because humans still want to take advantage and find ways to make things easier for themselves. Using AI to cut through corners can really be a struggle for students.
