The 80% Rule

Fridge Checklist for Kids Using AI

Before Asking AI Anything:
1

Did I finish my own version first?

A complete draft I could submit, not an outline.

2

Am I asking for critique, not answers?

"What's weak?" not "Fix this for me."

3

Will I improve it myself?

Using my own thinking and my own words.

The 80% Rule: Your child completes 80% of any work themselves first. Then AI critiques it, not completes it. They fix it themselves. The thinking stays theirs.
