School Banned AI? A Parent's Practical Guide

Start by finding out what the rule actually covers. Some policies prohibit generative AI on assessed work; others restrict particular accounts, ages, data practices or teaching uses. Ask the school for the written policy and what disclosure is expected. Do not ask your kid to evade it.

UNESCO's education guidance calls for human-centred, age-appropriate use with privacy protection and pedagogical validation. That makes a useful family test: is the activity appropriate for your kid, does it protect their information, and does the kid still do the thinking the task is meant to develop?

If the school permits separate personal projects, keep one clearly outside schoolwork: a small tool, game or page made at home, with an adult nearby and the AI contribution recorded. Check the provider's age and family-account requirements first. If the boundary is unclear, ask the school before proceeding.

The next step, if you want it: a free family assessment — about 3 minutes, one named profile, every source linked.

Common questions

Will pushing back on the school's policy help?

A respectful request for the written policy and its learning rationale can clarify the boundary. If you want change, use the school's normal consultation process; do not put your kid in the position of testing the rule for you.

Is it "cheating" if my kid uses AI the school has banned, at home?

Using AI on work covered by a school prohibition can breach the policy. A separate home project may be fine, but only if it is genuinely outside schoolwork, follows the service's age rules and does not conflict with the written policy.
