5 reasons why schools should not ban Chatgpt
2 min readJan 6, 2023
While reading the news that New York City public schools are banning Chatgpt, I remembered a similar situation when I was younger. When I went to public school in NYC, the internet was relatively new, and many teachers banned it as a source. I truly believe this was not a way to look at innovative technology and here are five reasons why schools should not ban Chatgpt:
- Chatgpt is a valuable educational tool to help students learn and practice communication skills.
- Banning Chatgpt could limit students’ ability to collaborate and communicate with their peers, which is an essential part of the learning process.
- Chatgpt can also be used as a platform for students to seek help and support from their peers and teachers.
- Banning Chatgpt could lead to students using other, potentially less safe, communication channels.
- Chatgpt can be used to promote positive and supportive communities within a school.
Overall, schools need to find ways to manage using Chatgpt and effectively teach critical thinking. Rather than banning it outright, we need to learn how we can co-create and exist with this transformative technology.
