Parents are losing confidence in Artificial Intelligence (AI) in schools, even more district to adopt technology.
A Recently PDK Poll Founded parents are not comfortable with obtaining personal information about their children with AI software, such as grades, and Americans are overall on AI use to plan lessons.
Disbelief is a drop from previous years that schools will face both as both Trump administration And the industry is seen to push AI in schools.
“I think the parents are in a lot of different places, what AI is, how it is affecting the schools or not and how it is starting to show specific to their own children. And we are really different for this decline compared to this decline.”
“I think this is going to be a year of reconnaissance with AI, the next school year,” said Dassault.
The PDK Poll found that about 70 percent of the parents do not want their students’ grade and other personal information in AI software programs, while support for teachers using AI for lesson plans has fallen by 62 percent in 2024 this year.
In 2024, 64 percent of the parents supported AI for students practicing standardized tests and 65 percent supported the use for tuition. In 2025, those numbers fell to 54 percent and 60 percent respectively.
“Parents probably had some direct experience and risk for some output how teachers use AI. … If I am the parents of the student who needs special education and I have seen an IEP [Individualized Education Program] He had an AI-borne material, and if the AI-actual content was not aligned with my child, or with the needs of my child, it is going to create a level of doubt, “Digital vada and former superintendent’s vice president and chief powerful teaching officer said D’Andre Weaver.
Weaver said that parents could now be more doubtful if the AI-rendered assignment was brought home last year that was not rigid or it was easy to complete themselves with AI.
“I think what people saw was like 0.001, which can be used for this tool … but what we know about these techniques and what we know about teachers is going to be treated every year,” he said.
Meanwhile, schools are moving forward. There were many Originally banned AI Platforms like Chatgpt in classes are now putting teachers in training programs to know about technology.
President Trump Signed an executive order In April, to promote the use of AI among the youth of America, and the first female Melania Trump launched a President AI challenge for students in schools.
He said in a video, “The President AI challenge will be the first step in preparing our next generation with the basis understanding of this important new technology.”
Education Secretary Linda McMahon has also sent guidance to K -12 schools for grants, which can be used to make instructional material construction, tuition, career and college guidance and integrate in preparation for the teacher.
Experts say that schools need to work with parents on the implementation of AI to make them more comfortable to use technology and their students.
“We hear that parents get disappointed, when you know that they are told, ‘What we are doing here,’ and this is a kind of dialogue,” said Elizabeth Leird, Director of Equity at Civic Technology at Center for Democracy and Technology.
“AI will be very transparent around the methods being used by AI,” he said, this would be an important step for schools to facilitate that type of data. ” “Start by one, to ensure how they have a comprehensive list of how it is being used.
There are many problems of their own problems to address schools with AI, such as Equity anxietyConcern of privacy, AI bullying And students using AI turn to technology to diagnose in uninterrupted ways mental health issues,
“When working with school systems across the country, we work to create places where community-parents, students, teachers-can be a part of this change. Through a series of engagement, we are combining AI literacy with real hearing and working to understand the concerns of the families so that they are well able to support their children’s AI. “Alex Kotran, co-founder and CEO of AI Education Project, said.
