334: Creating an AI Policy for your Homeschool

We explore why every homeschool family should consider developing an AI policy—and how to do it.

As AI tools become more prevalent, it’s no longer a question of if teens are using them, but how. Meryl explains how teens often approach AI differently than adults and why it’s important to proactively teach them how to use these tools responsibly and effectively.

Topics covered include:

• Why teens may misuse AI—and how to guide them

• What makes a good AI policy for your homeschool

• Specific tools parents can use to monitor and support responsible use

• The importance of balancing creativity, critical thinking, and AI assistance

• Tips for encouraging teens to be transparent and reflective about their AI use
