I did see an article recently that discussed something very similar to this topic. There was a Colorado State Fair Contest, and an artist won using generative AI. People were, understandably, very upset by this. The U.S. Copyright office even went as far as explaining that the artist is not the “author” of the piece, and “his sole contribution to the Midjourney Image was inputting the text prompt that produced it,” and then making visual modifications afterward. It is a touchy subject, because the artist did not phsyically make the art, but won anyway.

I think alot of high school teachers focus on this. Telling students how important it is to get into a good college to get a good career, instead of having the idea that being a good citizen is just as important.

This is something I definitely related to. I think if a teacher is very disengaged, it's really easy as a student to fall into a cycle of just worrying about recieving a grade.

I do think this is something to consider and question, because often dress-codes are more directed toward female students than male. What I was wondering as well is can a parent take legal action if they disagree with the school's dress code?

This surprised me, mainly because there is so much controversy in the media and U.S. culture right now about "book banning". For example, in Florida many districts are pulling specific books from library shelves because they don't agree with the content, but does this go against the surpreme court ruling of 1982?

I think this is a good point to be mindful of for myself, when starting our service learning. I use to be an instructional aide and I think I've definitely done this unintentionally, just in an attempt to involve more quiet students. I do see now how this is unfair to students and brings bias into the classroom.
