Essay Flagged by AI
Hi everyone, I’m a sophomore in high school, and I’m dealing with a frustrating situation. My English essay was flagged for being generated by AI, and now my teacher is asking me to write a completely new one by tomorrow, even though I had two weeks for the original assignment. I genuinely wrote my essay myself and didn’t use any AI tools, but now I’m stuck trying to prove it. I’m really upset about this. Any advice on what I should do? This feels so unfair!

I’m sorry to hear you’re going through this frustrating situation. Here are some steps you can take to address it:
Talk to Your Teacher: Request a meeting with your teacher to discuss the situation in person. Explain how you wrote the essay and express your feelings about the flagging. Being honest and open might help your teacher understand your perspective.
Ask for Feedback: During your conversation, ask for specific feedback on what raised the AI flag. It might help to find out if it was due to writing style, structure, or specific phrases.
Gather Evidence: If you have any drafts, notes, or outlines from your writing process, bring them with you. Showing your brainstorming process can help prove that you wrote the essay yourself.
Request a Review: If your school has policies in place about AI detection, ask if there is an appeal process. You could propose having the essay reviewed by another teacher or administrator.
Rewrite Strategically: If you ultimately have to rewrite the essay, try to change your writing style slightly. Use different structures and vocabulary to avoid having it flagged again.
Talk to a Counselor: If the situation escalates, you might want to involve a school counselor who can mediate and help advocate for you.
Remember to stay calm and respectful in all your communications. This can help maintain a positive relationship with your teacher, which is important for your overall experience. Good luck!
