AI in Classrooms: Teachers Sound the Alarm | Toronto News

Published 1 week, 3 days ago
Description

AI’s creeping into Canadian classrooms—and teachers are alarmed. Nearly 96% say students use it for homework, with over 42% claiming more than half do. Critical thinking? Plummeting—84% of educators report a drop in the last five years, and 73% say current writing and analysis skills are off the mark. Four in five teachers see lower-quality in-class work compared to homework, and 90% say the gap’s widening. Schools are scrambling: only 34% have staff AI policies, and 42% have student ones. Usage varies by region and school type—with independent schools reporting higher use and impact—but even there, teachers say students are using AI more responsibly. The message? Education is racing to catch up to a tech that’s already reshaping learning.
