Parents claim there was no rule banning AI, but school cites multiple policies.

The lawsuit says the Hingham High School student handbook did not include a restriction on the use of AI.

“They told us our son cheated on a paper, which is not what happened,” Jennifer Harris told WCVB. “They basically punished him for a rule that doesn’t exist.”

    If the student hired someone to write their essay and the author assigned all copyrights to the student, it’s still plagiarism.

    Who legally owns the work isn’t the issue with plagiarism.
