The main issue that is not addressed is that students need points to pass their subjects and get a high school diploma. LLMs are a magical shortcut to these points for many students, and therefore very tempting to use, for a number of normal reasons (time-shortage, laziness, fatigue, not comprehending, insecurity, parental pressure, status, etc.). This is the current, urgent problem with ChatGPT in schools that is not being addressed well.

Anyone who has spent some time with ChatGPT knows that the 'show your work' (plan, outline, draft, etc.) argument is moot, because AI can retroactively produce all of these earlier drafts and plans.
