Nearly three in four Canadian students use AI for their schoolwork and most feel guilty doing it. So why are two-thirds of teachers still untrained to handle it?

Dr. Maggie McDonnell teaches professional writing at Concordia University. Instead of banning AI or policing her students, she sat down with her class and wrote the rules together. We talk about why a ban just turns teachers into cops, the real reason students cheat, and what school is even for when a machine can do the homework.
