In a move that’s sparking nationwide debate, a veteran teacher says she quit her job after her entire curriculum was replaced â not by a new hire, not by a principal⌠but by AI.
âThey had ChatGPT doing my work,â she said, visibly emotional.
She isnât a newbie.
Sheâs been teaching for 17 years.
Decorated classroom. Masterâs degree. Loved by students.
But that didnât matter when her school district made a decision she says âcrossed a line no oneâs talking about.â
âI wasnât asked. I wasnât even warned.â
It started small:
Her school gave teachers AI tools to help generate worksheets and quizzes.
Then came lesson plans.
Then full lectures.
Then parent emails.
And finally, one Monday morning, she walked into her classroom⌠and her entire teaching schedule had already been written â by ChatGPT.
âEvery lesson, every quiz, every homework prompt⌠was AI-generated. All I had to do was âfacilitate.â They told me that word like it was supposed to make me feel better.â
She quit the next day.
Students cried. Parents were stunned.
Some called her âdramatic.â
Others called her right.
âI didnât go to school for six years to become a robot babysitter,â she said. âTeaching is human. Connection is human. ChatGPT canât replace that.â
The school district claims it was just âmodernizingâ education.
But behind the scenes, more teachers are speaking out â anonymously â about being quietly phased out of their roles by AI.
âTheyâre not firing us,â one staff member said. âTheyâre just making us irrelevant.â
This story is fueling a growing conversation:
đ§ Is AI here to assist teachers â or replace them?
đť Are schools innovating or outsourcing education?
đ¤ And what happens when we start automating connection?
