Most writing about AI in education is aimed at superintendents, ed-tech vendors, and think tanks. This is aimed at the grassroots: the teacher writing tomorrow's lesson plan tonight, the parent who just watched their kid ask a chatbot for the answer instead of doing the reading, the student who doesn't know if using AI on this assignment counts as cheating.
Children are already going to touch AI, and be touched by it, outside school hours with no supervision at all. Keeping it out of the classroom doesn't protect them from it — it just means their first real exposure happens unsupervised. Every resource here treats neurodivergent learners as distinct groups, not one, and every statistic is checked against a named, checkable source before it's published.
Governed by the Guardian Manifesto — CompAI Chronicles' constitution for human-first AI use. An Initiative of Compsultation.
The Traffic Light model, Mandatory Friction, and the full case for early, supervised AI exposure — the flagship resource, not a one-off.
Every student's baseline, plus Autism, ADHD & Dyslexia as distinct departures from it — never folded into one bucket.
Spot the Fiction, the Socratic Adversary, the Dinner Table Prompt, and the checklists parents and teachers keep coming back to.
A five-band framework plus a full companion lesson-plan unit, written for principals, superintendents, and school boards — not the grassroots voice everything else here uses.
The Grassroots Fears & Hopes Brief, Policy & Equity Watch, and new topic explainers — refreshed periodically as the field moves.
