A Network Connecting School Leaders From Around The Globe
Students of different ages in recent years have been using e-bikes to get around town, at times relying on the motorized bikes to get to school and creating a new challenge for districts: How should they manage the proliferation of e-bikes that, in some cases, travel as fast as 28 mph and in many cases are subject to few state and local regulations on who can use them, and where. Does your school/district regulate student use of e-bikes on campus?

Results of the survey of July 12, 2026
--------------------------------------
The President of AFT recently spoke on her new proposal, “Devices Down, Eyes Up, Hands-On: 10 Points to Boost Teaching and Learning in the AI Era.” She called for a screen ban, including online assessments, for students in pre-K through second grade. And she demanded an immediate end to student-facing AI in elementary schools, as well as a total ban for students under 16 on so-called “social companion” chatbots that simulate human relationships. What do you think of this proposal?
I'm fully in favor - 71.4%
The proposal needs a closer look. - 28.6%
Devices are an integral part of the instructional process. A ban does not make sense. - 0%

Why would we expose young children to screen time when we know it is detrimental to their cognitive development? Why are teachers allowing the use of screen time instead of their ability to interact and teach? |
|
I know that this proposal is well-intended, but it needs additional study. I certainly don't believe that students in grades Pre-K - 2 need to be taking online assessments. |
|
I think our children are becoming “ mindless zombies”. They are losing, or rather have already lost, their ability to think creatively and to rely on their own ideas. As a result, negativity and disrespect to each other are now the norm. |
|
There is merit in managing and limiting screen time, especially for primary grades. Elimination is not a reasonable answer. |

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource
Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and
other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching
practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
