The Compliant Mind for Parents and Teachers in New Hampshire

Parents in Manchester, Nashua and Concord, and across the rest of New Hampshire, now share the job of raising children with apps and assistants designed to please.

Public schools in New Hampshire work under the New Hampshire Department of Education; The Compliant Mind is meant to complement, not replace, the guidance that the New Hampshire Department of Education and local districts give on technology in classrooms.

Manchester and Nashua host software and engineering firms, many drawing on the wider Boston-area tech economy. Children growing up this close to the technology deserve tools, and adults, that still know how to disagree.

New Hampshire towns hold annual town meetings where voters decide local matters directly. Families can borrow the same idea at home: rules everyone agrees to, written down and revisited.

3 practical tips for parents and teachers in New Hampshire

  1. 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 Manchester as well as in a classroom.
  2. Keep devices out of bedrooms overnight; many of the most agreeable conversations with chatbots happen late, when no adult is around to say no.
  3. Teachers: build one "friction point" into each AI-assisted assignment, a step where students must check, compare or reject the tool's answer.
