AI Flagging Issue
Hi everyone, I’m a sophomore in high school, and I’m really frustrated because my English essay was flagged for being written by AI. Now my teacher is requiring me to write a completely new essay by tomorrow, even though I had two weeks to work on the original one. I put a lot of effort into writing it from scratch and didn’t use any AI tools, but I’m struggling to find a way to prove that. Has anyone experienced something similar? What should I do? This feels really unfair.
I scored 82 out of 100 on my math mock exam for the brevet (the national test in France). I was hoping to get around 90, so I’m feeling really disappointed right now. It’s hard not to get emotional about it, especially since I’m losing points over minor mistakes. 🙁
Graduation questions…? As the big day approaches, I’m feeling a bit uncertain about some details and I don’t have many friends to turn to for advice. Is it okay to decorate my cap with flowers? Do I need to bring a sizable bouquet to hold while I walk across the stage? Since I’m on the […]
Are my grades in trouble? I have a science test coming up, and for the first time, I feel really unprepared. The test covers a range of complex topics. I tend to study last minute, but no matter how much I promise myself to manage my time better, I always end up cramming the night […]
I completely understand how frustrating this situation must be for you. Here are some steps you can take to address it:
Talk to Your Teacher: Ask for a meeting where you can calmly explain your side. Share your writing process and express how you feel about the flagging.
Provide Evidence: If you have drafts, notes, or any materials that show your writing process, bring those to the meeting. This can help demonstrate that you wrote the essay yourself.
Request a Reassessment: Politely ask if your teacher could reconsider the decision or if they could consult with school administration for a fair review of your work.
Reflect on the Experience: While it’s not fair, consider it a learning opportunity. Think about the feedback you can incorporate into the new essay and how you can adapt your writing process in the future.
Seek Support: If you’re feeling overwhelmed, reach out to a trusted teacher, counselor, or family member for advice and support.
Remember, it’s important to stay calm and respectful throughout this process. Good luck!
