Will schools ban AI tools like ChatGPT in the future?

Will schools ban AI tools like ChatGPT in the future? Maybe. Maybe not. Think of it like the calculator debate all over again. At first, people panicked. Then they realized the real trick is teaching kids how to use it smartly, not just banning it outright. Schools might block access for certain assignments or during tests, sure. But a full-on ban? Unlikely. AI isn’t going anywhere, and the world outside the classroom is already using it. Instead of building walls, schools are more likely to teach digital literacy, critical thinking, and ethical use. So yes, your future essay buddy might face a few restrictions, but don’t worry, it probably won’t get expelled. Just taught some manners.
