In this episode we explore a question schools are only beginning to confront: how should students speak to AI?

As AI chatbots become more common in classrooms, the conversation often focuses on cheating, plagiarism, citation, and academic integrity. But there is another layer worth paying attention to: the interaction itself. When students talk to AI, are they respectful, dismissive, abusive, curious, aggressive, or overly dependent? And what might those interactions reveal about student behavior, classroom culture, and ethical development?

Topics covered:

• Why schools talk so much about AI cheating, but much less about AI interaction
• What student language toward chatbots may reveal about classroom behavior and emotional patterns
• Whether speaking abusively to AI can reinforce habits that carry into human relationships
• How AI interactions may become part of character formation in small, everyday moments
• Why teachers may need guidance for responding when students mistreat AI tools
• What districts should consider when creating AI use norms and classroom policies
• Why this issue belongs in broader conversations about AI literacy and digital citizenship
