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 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!
