Even Microsoft's own paid studies show that AI harms learning.

Students that just took notes did better than those that used AI.
Students that used AI and took notes didn't do as well as those that just took notes.

"Students must learn to critically evaluate AI output"

Have you seen common arguments for AI usage in schools?

We collected some of the ones we see most often, and counter-points to them.

Did we miss any?

The idea is that teachers write a question on the app, and then get all their students to "check in" with how they're feeling.

And then the teacher can see a summary of how each of their students responded.

No human interaction required!

Are you worried about AI and your child's mental health?

Worried they might develop an unhealthy relationship with a chatbot, as Copilot gets deployed into classrooms?

Don't worry, Microsoft has the solution!

Our first posters are going up around Vancouver, we as parents can push back against big tech invading classrooms. 💪

Please sign our petition and show Vancouver School Board that we do not want children using AI in the classroom.

#ai companies have been steadily moving into schools across North America in the last year.

They are spending millions of dollars on advertising.

Parents often don't know the negative effects of AI, and educators are being told to use it by administrators blown away by slick presentations.
