ChatGPT Use Among Teens for Schoolwork Doubles

A new Pew Research Center survey reveals a significant increase in the number of teenagers using ChatGPT for school assignments. 26% of students aged 13-17 now utilize the AI chatbot for homework, double the 13% reported in 2023. Acceptance of ChatGPT varies depending on the task; 54% find it acceptable for research, but only 18% for essay writing. Many school districts have eased or lifted bans on ChatGPT, yet concerns remain regarding academic integrity and equitable access, particularly given the lack of regulation surrounding AI in schools.

California's Math Education Reform Sparks 'Math Wars'

California's Math Education Reform Sparks 'Math Wars'

The update of California's Mathematics Framework (CMF) ignited a fierce debate, dubbed the "math wars." Reformists advocated replacing traditional algebra with more engaging and inclusive data science courses to boost student interest and close achievement gaps. Traditionalists countered that data science courses lacked rigor and couldn't replace algebra, jeopardizing future STEM careers. The conflict spilled onto social media and into politics, resulting in significant controversy. Ultimately, the University of California reversed the data science substitution policy and formed a workgroup to establish better math standards, following pressure from experts and tech leaders. This "war" exposed weaknesses in US math education and spurred further reforms.
