Parents of a student at Hingham High School, known as RNH, Dale and Jennifer Harris, have filed a lawsuit against the school’s teacher and board members after RNH’s homework scores were cut, resulting in a drop to a B grade which may impact college admissions this year.
The lawsuit argues that the school lacks clear rules prohibiting the use of AI, therefore RNH should not have been penalized for using AI to assist with this particular homework assignment. They are requesting the court to order the school to reevaluate the grades.
The school, on the other hand, states that the student handbook clearly prohibits the use of unauthorized technology. Additionally, in the English Language Arts class, there is additional training on the specific permission required for using AI, including referencing guidelines. RNH’s homework did not indicate the use of AI in any way.
