What happened
Ban or no ban, students are going to use AI. Let’s make sure they have the skills to navigate it, says Common Sense Media’s chief program officer.
Why it matters
School leaders, teachers and parents deciding whether to restrict AI tools face a choice between blocking access and building student skills. The article suggests that a ban alone may not prepare students for AI use outside the classroom. Readers should watch whether schools adopt specific AI literacy programs in response to the debate.
