A calm note asking how AI use is handled in class, without sounding accusatory or behind.

Parents5 minutesPrintable resource

Open curious, not defensive

"Hi [Teacher's name], I want to make sure my kid is using AI tools in a way that supports their learning — and I want to understand how you'd like them to use it in your class."

Ask about the policy

"Can you share how you feel about students using AI for homework, study, or revision? I want to make sure we're aligned on what counts as help vs. outsourcing."

Offer partnership

"If there are assignments where AI use should be disclosed or limited, please let us know and we'll make sure our kid follows that standard."

Close with warmth

"I know AI policies are evolving fast — I appreciate you taking the time to set expectations. Happy to follow up as things change."

“"I want to make sure my kid is using AI in a way that supports their learning — and I want to understand how you'd like them to use it in your class."”

The tone

Curious first. Firm second. The goal is proof of understanding, not a confession. Keep the conversation safe enough that your kid tells you the truth next time.

If you get a vague response

Ask specifically: "Can they use AI to study vocabulary?"Ask: "What would you consider disclosure vs. over-reliance?"Offer to share your family AI rules with the teacher
