Age group
Topic
“What's something you learned recently that you actually figured out yourself, not with AI's help? How did that feel compared to getting an answer instantly?”
Parent note: Works across ages. You're reinforcing the felt difference between earned understanding and borrowed answers.
“What's a skill you're building right now that AI can't replicate? How intentional are you about it?”
Parent note: The follow-up, "how intentional", is where the real conversation starts.
“Where's the line between getting help from AI and cheating? Does it depend on the assignment?”
Parent note: Let them draw the line, then ask what makes them sure.
