  Look, we live in the real world with scare resources distributed to different needs, one of them education. It is sad that a lot of times students will have suboptimal teachers and teaching. Even at the best schools and universities in the world, there will be certain parts which will be taught badly. Secondly, in the real world, some high value creating jobs can be extremely tedious and boring. And in the real world, some things you need to learn to do either these boring jobs or even interesting jobs, can be very boring. As an educator, I am all for making education better (like a lot), but for the above reasons, parts of education will always be boring. And I understand that some students will cheat because of this boredom. But what I observe is that the rate at which students cheat is much higher than the fraction of their education that is boring or badly done. Students cheat because it is easier than working hard, students cheat because it is cool to cheat and brag about it, students teach because they don't care about learning at all.
