The school's rules for AI

Schools have rules for AI because the point is that you learn something, not that a text gets finished. Common principles:

• Allowed if declared: ideas, explanations, language checking — as long as you write down how AI was used.
• Not allowed: handing in AI text as your own, using AI in an exam, feeding in personal data or other people's work.
• Ask the teacher when the task does not say.

A declaration can be one line: «I used an AI to get three ideas for the introduction and to check the spelling. All the text is written by me.»

Cases to judge:

1. A pupil asks an AI to explain what a metaphor is, then writes their own examples. → OK, declare it.
2. A pupil lets an AI write the book review and changes a few words. → Not OK — it is not the pupil's work.
3. A pupil pastes in a classmate's essay to «get some tips». → Not OK — someone else's work, and possibly personal data.
4. A pupil uses AI on a take-home exam where the teacher has said nothing. → Ask first.

Which case do you find hardest? Why?
