"Creating a middleman by using AI is a waste of my time, a dereliction of my duties, and feels too much like teaching by focus group.". Knowing our students through their writing (and talking!) is one of the great privileges of being an English teacher. Connection matters.
I wrote about why I won't be using AI to correct my students' work.
