This MIT Technology Review piece profiles Cheshire Academy, a private US high school, examining how teachers are navigating generative AI adoption. The school opted for general AI training over prescribing specific tools, with most teachers using AI for lesson planning and rubric creation. The item surfaces common tensions around quality, personalisation, and privacy, but is framed around K-12 classroom practice rather than government policy, public sector AI governance, or Australian regulatory context.
