Here are four key points from the commentary by Ellen Parent:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Cognitive Growth Through Challenge:<\/strong> Ellen Parent argues that students need to consistently challenge their cognitive abilities through practice and problem-solving to develop critical skills like idea generation, critical thinking, and attention to detail. This is akin to how physical training develops muscle strength.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Harmful Effects of Generative AI:<\/strong> Parent contends that using generative AI tools in education, such as automating parts of writing or research, can harm students&#8217; cognitive development by reducing their opportunities to engage deeply with the material and practice essential thinking skills.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Importance of Process in Learning:<\/strong> The essay process\u2014from outlining to revising\u2014cultivates crucial mental skills that contribute to a student\u2019s intellectual growth. Delegating this process to AI diminishes students&#8217; chances to develop these cognitive capacities.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Caution in AI Integration:<\/strong> While acknowledging that AI transformation is necessary, Parent insists that incorporating AI into education should be approached with caution. Children should be well-prepared and trained gradually, much like learning a complex skill such as surgery, rather than being prematurely thrust into environments where they rely on AI for fundamental learning tasks.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Hope these points are helpful!<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ellen Parent: Keep AI out of schools https:\/\/vtdigger.org\/2026\/03\/03\/ellen-parent-keep-ai-out-of-schools\/ Publish Date: 2026-03-03 07:05:00 Source Domain: vtdigger.org&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":192307,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/vtdigger.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Commentaries_featured-image-25.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[19],"class_list":["post-192306","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-generative-ai"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192306"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=192306"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192306\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":192308,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192306\/revisions\/192308"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/192307"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=192306"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=192306"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=192306"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
