The Compliant Mind for Parents and Teachers in Indiana

From Indianapolis, Fort Wayne and Evansville to small towns, families across Indiana are raising children alongside phones, tablets and homework helpers that answer instantly and rarely push back.

Whatever the Indiana Department of Education and your school district recommend on devices and AI, the book gives families a short set of household rules to pair with it.

Indianapolis has a recognized software-as-a-service scene, and Purdue University in West Lafayette trains many of the state's engineers. Children growing up this close to the technology deserve tools, and adults, that still know how to disagree.

Amish communities in northern Indiana are known for barn raisings and other forms of mutual aid. That habit of shared, agreed rules is exactly what a household needs around always-yes AI.

3 practical tips for parents and teachers in Indiana

  1. When a child says "the AI said so," treat it as the start of a conversation, not the end of one.
  2. Agree on a "look-up" moment at home: before a child accepts an answer from a chatbot, they look up and say it out loud to an adult. It works at a kitchen table in Indianapolis as well as in a classroom.
  3. Teachers: build one "friction point" into each AI-assisted assignment, a step where students must check, compare or reject the tool's answer.
