How A.I. Killed Student Writing (and Revived It)

Teachers across high schools and the Ivy League are abandoning take-home essays for in-class handwritten work; the framing is AI-cheating, but the real signal is procurement. Detection software is being publicly retired, locked-down browsers and observation-mode assessment infrastructure are the buy. The deeper read: this is the first institutional admission that the write-badly-get-feedback-write-less-badly loop is the actual product of education, and AI broke it. Every firm using AI for junior first drafts is running the same experiment on its 24-year-olds with a five-year senior-bench tail.
