Homework & school
Should teachers know my kid uses AI?
Yes when the school asks for disclosure — and usually yes as a default for trust. Check the syllabus, then have your child note AI coaching the way the teacher wants. Parent-visible chats on HeyOtto (ages 8–18) make honesty easier. Otto is an assistant, not a companion.
