Why can't I tell which of my students is using ChatGPT to cheat without false-accusing the honest ones?
AI-detector tools flag non-native writers and honest students as cheaters; teachers have no defensible signal.
Who has it: High school + college instructors of writing-heavy courses.
Evidence
Teachers describe AI detectors flagging work they believe a strong student wrote on their own, which leaves them unsure what to trust.

What they are missing
No tool combines keystroke/Doc-revision-history forensics with stylometric baselines per student, so accusations remain probabilistic guesses without a workflow for the conversation.
