Shortly after their son received a D grade for using AI on a history paper at Hingham High School, his parents filed suit — claiming that “artificial intelligence is here to stay.”
The Harris boy and his partner were able to get only into the preliminary stages of the project when Petrie’s “spot check” of their work revealed the presence of AI-generated content. The teacher accused them of cheating, according to the complaint.
Petrie and Andrew Hoey, the head of the school’s history department, told the students they would have to each start new projects separately, could not use any of their previous work, and could not use AI at all.
The student at the heart of the complaint received a 0/20 for the notes portion of his project, a 0/30 on the rough draft portion and a 65/100 on the final paper — a D, “despite the fact he was forced to restart the project from scratch and never having received a grade this low on a final written project.”
The complaint argues that the use of AI was not explicitly barred by the teacher or the school’s Academic Integrity policy in effect at the time in question.

It sure does.
Bttt
I would bet the parents are liberals. Look at what kind of example they are setting for their cheating son. Of course, Kamala Harris is also a plagiarizer and look where she is.
It’s Oregon so who knows if they win the lawsuit?
And unnecessary too.
AI is either going to improve scholarship by automating the search and collection of background materials or it is going to destroy scholarship by doing the thinking and work for the students so they can go out to drink and party 7 days a week instead of 3 and concentrate on video games and porn the rest of the time.
Harris? Is he related to another famous plagiarist.
What are the requirements and guidelines of the assignment?
If it ain’t banned, it’s ok.
Don’t assume anything.
Read a book and get an idea. OK
Punch some question in an AI bot and get an idea? Same thing.
Plagiarism, un-acknowledged passages bad. Kamala did it, but it’s ok for her cuz . . .
No “seems” about it. It’s no different than paying somebody to write your paper or do your project.
The poor kid has pathetic parents, too. I can’t believed they filed a suit for their cheating son.
So are idiots.
Reminds me of the parents who complained when their son was no longer invited to go out to eat with his friends. When it came time to pay the son would bring out a Buy One Get One Free coupon and expected to eat for free while his friends all paid full price. The parents insisted he be able to use it.
I despise these parents who are ruining our society by breeding and raising losers.
“artificial intelligence is here to stay.”
It won’t be once the electrical generation system gets overloaded by “green new deal” mandates.
“Petrie and Andrew Hoey, the head of the school’s history department, told the students they would have to each start new projects separately, could not use any of their previous work, and could not use AI at all.”
So does the head of the school’s history department have two heads are something? Maybe a ‘split personality’, or perhaps ‘in transition’?
(and we really think we can beat China and Russia in WW3?)
Require the student to use in-depth quotations and references, with all references cited by title, author, page, list all sources used, etc..
then, make the student present the paper to the class, for a defense, with grade based on presentation, knowledge of material, ability to cite references, etc...
It means going back to doing it really “old school”
AI could assist, but regardless the student would be forced to really learn the material
And harris is not the first democrat accused of that.
No, he was offered the chance to restart the project instead of taking the F for cheating.
But maybe points for ingenuity, like that kid who "built" a clock.
No, it's not.
Punching in a question to AI requires NO thinking on the part of the person.
At least reading the book and thinking about it yourself uses the mind.
I taught AP History once. I was amazed at the level of cheating by the students and the level of cover up or denial by the parents..... I always found the biggest cheaters were the AP students.
It sounds like they used AI to write this tripe.
