> If the lazy student constantly cheats In other words the efficient student who used the path of least resistance. It is easy to call such people lazy, but in my experience that label is mainly used to avoid the responsibility of fixing the issue. People convincing me I'm lazy caused more damage than a whole school career based on cheating would have. Exams should mainly test understanding, not the ability to memorize things. Once you do that cheaters automatically become a smaller issue. Unless it's a memorization test(vocabulary etc.) there's no reason to withhold information imho, just like it doesn't make sense to have someone write software without access to Github or StackOverflow. > Modern education is about helping children learn In that case modern education is a total failure across the board. Maybe my non-neurotypical perspective is a bit biased, but it is difficult to think of just one instance where any part of the education system was actually helpful. Einstein's quote about judging fish based on their ability to climb trees never lost significance. Though I do have some understanding there; the education system in its current form does not attract competent teachers, and despite some awareness improvements rarely get funded beyond pilot tests.
