Round 1
In schools and while learning many other subjects like math, you have to remember formulas and do the same thing every day. Learn the same thing and review it every day and they teach just a few methods. But with AI, you can have many more methods to learn and you can find millions of questions based on your level and make learning feel fast and fun. And if you make a mistake, AI can help correct you and make you learn from your mistakes.

A recent survey found about half of college students admit using AI for work they were supposed to do themselves. That's the crux for me. The other side is right that AI can tutor and explain things, and I won't dismiss that. But the core job of school is learning how to think, struggle, and revise. When AI short-circuits that, students get polished answers and weaker skills. The harm is slow and invisible, which is exactly why we underestimate it. For students still building habits, easy outsourcing beats occasional convenience.
Round 2
Well, but one girl in the US used AI for her work and got A for every subject. And for university entries, many students fail to learn core subjects like business and economy. But AI helps them to understand the core missions of each job and make them learn and focus more for their dream jobs.

Imagine a student stuck on a math problem at 11 p.m. AI hands over a clean solution in seconds, and it feels like learning. But on the exam, with no prompt to copy, the steps vanish. My opponent is right that AI can generate practice and correct mistakes, and that's real. But the default habit it builds is answer-getting, not thinking. A tutor who explains is useful; a machine that always supplies the answer trains students to stop before the struggle that actually makes knowledge stick. For students still forming habits, that trade is more harm than good.
Round 3
So you say that the steps vanished, but actually a survey in the UK found out more than 70% of students got very high-grade marks on their final exam. So this results that AI is incredibly important to help us learn about many things. But look at many other core subjects like history, good character, and what the school teach. They teach us the same thing just like math. But look at AI. It tells us what to do, the right things to do. And us humans can sometimes make mistakes. But what about AI? They rarely make mistakes and we can ask them for the steps to do it and they can explain carefully.

Think about a student who can produce an A paper with AI but can’t defend a single claim in class. My opponent points to one student’s straight A’s, but a single story isn’t evidence, and grades measure output, not understanding. The other side is right that AI can help someone explore career paths and job tasks. But that’s a narrow benefit compared with the everyday habit of outsourcing practice. School’s long game is durable judgment; AI’s default is quick answers. For most students, that trade still does more harm.
