Free back-to-school AI homework policy kit
A free 5-page kit for setting calm ChatGPT homework expectations before the first AI homework conflict.
The first back-to-school AI problem is not usually a technical problem. It is a rules problem. A child opens ChatGPT, a parent is not sure what counts as help, and the teacher's expectations may not be clear yet.
This kit gives families and educators one usable baseline: school rules first, child first, AI second, one check before trusting, and if the child cannot explain it, they cannot turn it in.
Use it before a conflict, not after one. The best time to set an AI homework rule is before the first late-night assignment, when everyone can practice the routine calmly.

Inside the free kit
The kit is designed for the practical homework moment: clear enough for students, specific enough for adults, and short enough to use before school routines start.
Ages 9-14
Best fit for upper-elementary and middle-school students who are old enough to use AI tools but still need clear school, family, tutor, or homeschool homework expectations.
Back-to-school AI homework rules and student checklist
AI homework boundaries, student disclosure, first-attempt habit, one-check verification, and explaining work in the child's own words.
Parents, tutors, homeschool families, microschools, and teachers who need a practical AI homework rule before the school year gets messy.
Use the rules sheet as the baseline, put the checklist in a binder or homework folder, and run the mini answer-audit activity once before a real assignment is due.
Free PDF kit
Use the kit as the first AI homework boundary. Then use the answer-audit sample if your child needs more practice judging confident AI answers.
Yes. It is a free 5-page PDF download.
It is best for upper-elementary and middle-school students who are beginning to use ChatGPT or similar AI tools for homework.
No. The rule is child first, AI second. The child must try first, use AI only as help, check one part, and explain the answer before turning it in.
Start with the rules page, keep the student checklist visible, and run the mini answer-audit activity once before a real assignment is due.
If your child needs practice judging AI answers, try the free Catch the AI's Lie sample with four answer-audit challenges.
