Charles Louis Richter: It's clear from the text that she is describing how the interaction must have felt. She is not reporting speech here. There's no poor communication issue going on here, except perhaps on the receiving end.

Well this is grim

I can deal with this - it’s a kid who doesn’t know what the tech is, that can be fixed

yeah this is definitely a one person problem

also it doesn't really help that, at least according to op's wording, they told the kid "[the internet and other broad terms] is wrong" and that's uh, that's a very dumb thing to say, assuming this ever happened at all. it's no wonder the kid (supposedly) assumed the teacher was just wrong.

i don't think they said that? they're saying that that's the lens the kid is seeing 'don't use chatgpt' through

it is what they said that they said - if that's not what they said *to* the kid it was poorly communicated to us, the readers, and considering their assessment of the kid's disposition toward them (vis a vis their trusted internet sources) it seems like it was poorly communicated to the kid as well

ok

Yeah, I think we've found where communications are failing here, jm. And it's not the teacher.

uh huh
