10月16日，家长赋能课堂讲座开讲。龚德辉校长以“AI越来越强，孩子到底拼什么？”为题，为一百多名家长作专题讲座。她指出，学生过度依赖AI可能带来“学习惩罚”，把思考外包会透支孩子基础能力。她提出，AI时代应重点培养阅读理解能力、批判性思考能力和社会建构能力：以深度阅读打牢信息筛选与逻辑建构的地基，以批判性思维拒绝平庸、善于追问，以社会建构能力在合作中创造善意与影响。讲座引导家长理性看待AI，做积极的学习者和参与者。

On October 16, Gloria Gong delivered a lecture titled “As AI Gets Stronger, What Should Children Compete On?” to over 100 parents. She warned that over-reliance on AI-assisted learning may cause a “learning penalty” and erode foundational abilities. She highlighted three key capacities: reading comprehension, critical thinking and community-building—deep reading for information screening and logical construction, critical thinking for questioning and rejecting mediocrity, and community-building for creating goodwill and impact through collaboration. The lecture encouraged parents to view AI rationally and become active learners and participants.
