I just read on LinkedIn (so you don't have to)
"A 2026 survey of thousands of teachers in England found that 66% of secondary teachers believe students’ critical thinking has declined because of AI use. "
I also read elsewhere that 64% of statistics are made up and that the plural of anecdote is not data.
