As AI technologies enter k-12 classrooms, understanding how different stakeholders perceive these tools is critical. This paper identifies a significant trust gap between teacher-role and student-experience perspectives on control and agency in classroom AI systems. Students generally desire greater autonomy and flexibility when interacting with AI tools, while teachers prioritize oversight, monitoring, and structured control to maintain pedagogical alignment. These misalignments have direct implications for ai-literacy programs that must address both stakeholder perspectives to build effective student-ai-interaction in learning environments.
