I was a Academic highschool teacher for 8 years and I agree with your statement but also don't think that we should make it too easy for them. At minimum a screen recorder so the students know even if they were not caught during the exam, they could later be caught
Bonus anecdote
When the first bluetooth phones hit the market we had students use their (pseudo) smart phones (that looked like expensive calculators with greyscale displays back then) to send each other the solutions during the physics exam. No teacher at the time had this as a threat model
- trashtester 4y agoAt some point, when a student find a truly novel way to gain an advantage, that can be seen as a kind of creativity, and may point to a strong career (hopefully within the law). However, if lots of students cheat in the same way semester after semester, the school has a credibility problem.
