Will AI replace Secondary School Teachers?

Why this score

AI is already capable of grading multiple-choice assessments, generating lesson plan drafts, and producing differentiated reading materials — tasks that consume hours of a secondary teacher's week. However, the in-person supervision of minors, real-time behavioral intervention, parent communication, and mandated duty-of-care responsibilities create deep structural barriers to displacement. Regulatory frameworks at the state and federal level require a licensed human adult in the classroom, and no school district is close to changing that. The real question for secondary teachers isn't whether AI replaces you, but whether you become the teacher who directs AI as a force multiplier or the one who competes with it on routine content delivery.
