A new Leger poll sheds light on the concerns of Canadian teachers regarding the usage of artificial intelligence (AI) by students in grades 6-12. The survey reveals that 40% of the teachers believe that more than half of their students are turning to AI tools to assist with homework tasks. This trend has raised alarm bells among educators, who report observing a noticeable decline in students' writing, analytical, and critical thinking skills as a result of AI usage. The findings prompt discussions about the balance between technological advancements in education and maintaining essential learning skills. As the educational landscape continues to evolve with the integration of AI, teachers are calling for methods to ensure that students develop and retain critical academic competencies.
