I’ve been working with so many students who turn to it as a first resort for everything. The second a problem stumps them, it’s AI. The first source for research is AI.
It’s not even about the tech, there’s just something about not wanting to learn that deeply upsets me. It’s not really something I can understand. There is no reason to avoid getting better at writing.
If the class is a writing/language class then yes, work on writing. But if the class is history and writing is simply the task to gauge understanding of the topic, that’s no longer the correct approach
That’s not actually how school works until advanced grades. Even in the unlikely case they have multiple teachers, the curriculum is designed to reinforce skills across itself. Math has reading, history writing, etc. etc. It is possible for one thing to be doing multiple things and disrupting that ecosystem can easily break it completely.
That’s exactly how school works especially in the lower grades - we don’t have kindergartners writing papers, we have them hands-on with the subject. Doing experiments in science class to learns concepts like gravity or density is key to how we teach well before the concept of writing papers is introduced
