Sinead Bond

Sinead Bond teaches English at Southwest High School in Fort Worth.

Her students rarely use laptops.

Instead, they write nearly everything by hand.

It's part of Bond's strategy to keep AI out of her classroom.

But she may be in the minority.

Roughly 60 percent of surveyed teachers said they used AI at least a little in their classroom.

That's according to a July 2025 poll from the Ed Week Research Center.

Bond says she's open to changing her mind about AI, but right now she doesn't see much value in it for her students.
