Unit 5 project: Should our school say yes?

All unit you've asked one question at a time: where does my data go, is this true, whose work changes, what does it cost, who answers. Real decisions ask them all at once. Today a company's offer lands on the head teacher's desk, and your group writes the page she decides from.

Work in groups of 3–4. One period. Everything in school-decision.odt.

"HomeworkHelper AI — free for every school!" An advert, a two-page policy, and a sample report it produces on a pupil's work. Your teacher may swap in a different tool — the questions stay the same.

Five checks, one box each in the document. Predict your group's decision first and write it at the top.

1. Data (5.1). What does it keep, for how long, who sees it? Quote the policy. Does it say anything about children?
2. Claims (5.2). The advert makes three promises. For each: source · can we check it · true, false or cannot tell?
3. Work (5.3). Which of a teacher's tasks does it take? Which are left — and which should never be handed over?
4. Cost (5.4). Every pupil, every night, all year: what is deliberate use here — and what isn't?
5. Charter (5.5). Take your class charter. Which rules does this tool pass? Which does it break?

6. Yes, no, or yes-if. One line. If yes-if: up to three conditions, each one checkable, each with a name attached — the company, the school, a teacher.
7. Did your decision match your prediction? One line on what changed your mind, if anything did.

Each person writes two sentences to the parents: what the school decided about this tool, and the one thing a parent should know about it. Plain words, no jargon. Sign with your roll number. This part is marked for you alone.

Each group reads out its decision and its strongest reason. Different decisions are fine; unexplained ones aren't.
