Ask Better Questions at Home

Most conversations about AI and homework start and end with “Did you use it?” This one opens the door. It’s one of four family conversations in the guide.

Every section follows the same pattern: questions to think about, a conversation to have, and a prompt to try.

THIS WEEK’S FAMILY CONVERSATION

Instead of asking “Did you use AI?” try asking:

“What did AI help you learn that you didn’t know before?”
