Cheating?

A Utah student is in the National/World news for creating a popular cool program!

Too bad it’s for “cheaters”!
 
And it is on PBS, Frontline
https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/students-search-for-shortcuts-as-virtual-schooling-expands/
 
(Some items from the article)
…Quizlet, another homework help website, entire test keys are posted
…said she found 90% of the answers for her senior English and history classes online
…“they were classes I needed to graduate and none of that information I will need in my career.”
 
My input is that these kids are not “cheating on purpose”  They may sincerely look for a help and type in the question from the book or other sources… And google does it’s job to find the same question… and possibly an answer.  Posted by, maybe even a teacher doing a side gig for a different website such as Brainly! https://boards.greenhouse.io/brainly.  We teach students how to find answers and content on-line.  Now when they look up content.. they’re cheating?
 
Best part of it all
is the fact that In person teaching (us, and our jobs) are wanted/needed!
“He believes the best tool to combat cheating is cementing the student to teacher relationships.”

Yes, recoding or manipulated a website to take a picture of a higher score on the student screen... Is cheating.  Looking up an answer on the internet - not cheating.
