00:00OpenAI gives teachers their own ChatGPT.

00:04OpenAI announced ChatGPT for teachers, a suite to help educators wrangle lesson planning,

00:10grading, and whatever else is currently eating up their evenings.

00:15Teachers finally get an AI sidekick to counter the AI students already secretly use.

00:21Balance restored, maybe.

00:23ChatGPT for teachers will help K-12 educators build class materials and work safely with

00:29student data, with full support for Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act rules.

00:36It'll be free through June 2027, the exact moment OpenAI may need to start asking schools

00:42for money after they've become thoroughly hooked.

00:45Think of it like the world's most academically wholesome free trial.

00:49Colleges aren't left out.

00:51OpenAI already has a version for higher ed called ChatGPT, EDU, which many universities

00:58are weaving into campus life, because nothing says the future like freshmen arguing whether

01:03their resident assistant used AI to write the dorm policies.

01:08OpenAI isn't the only tech giant planting an AI flag in America's classrooms, as schools

01:15become a battleground to nestle chatbots into official workflows.

01:18Google is handing out Gemini AI through the next academic year, and XAI offered free Grok

01:25during exam season, a chatbot that also tries to be funny.

01:29All this raises the looming question, is any of this actually helping students learn?

01:35Teachers are already struggling to get kids to engage with schoolwork, especially in math,

01:41math, where the US has slipped so far that UC San Diego had to create a remedial course for incoming

01:47students who couldn't handle middle school level material. Add large language models into the mix,

01:54and some students are now skipping the learn things step entirely. Studies show that overusing

02:00AI can weaken critical thinking and cause people to offload harder tasks to the machine,

02:06making them worse at doing the work themselves.

02:11Yeah.
