Can Students Use Generative AI?

Teachers play a crucial role in guiding students' use of technology and fostering ethical practices.
AI is not a cure-all or an enemy; it’s a tool students need to learn to use wisely. Instead of blocking it, we should teach them to handle AI responsibly so they’re ready for the real world.
