The Ten Commandments of AI

1. I

   I. Thou shalt remain the teacher.

   AI assists. It does not replace the person God placed in the room.

2. II

   II. Thou shalt not bear false witness with it.

   Check every fact, quote, date, and verse before it reaches a student or a parent. It will be confidently wrong.

3. III

   III. Thou shalt guard thy students' names.

   Never type a child's name, grade, diagnosis, or family detail into a tool you do not control.

4. IV

   IV. Thou shalt read what it writes before thou sendest it.

   Every word that leaves under your name is yours.

5. V

   V. Thou shalt teach students to think first and ask second.

   The blank page comes before the prompt. Struggle is where learning lives.

6. VI

   VI. Thou shalt be honest about its use.

   Set a class policy, tell parents, and keep the policy yourself.

7. VII

   VII. Thou shalt not let it grade the heart.

   Use it for rubrics and drafts, never to judge a child's effort or character.

8. VIII

   VIII. Thou shalt test it against Scripture and good sense.

   It has no worldview. You do. You are the filter.

9. IX

   IX. Thou shalt keep the parent in the loop.

   If AI touches homework, the family should know what, where, and why.

10. X

    X. Thou shalt use it to buy back time for people.

    The hour it saves belongs to a student, not to another screen.
