i suspect the only real solution to this problem is to have proctored in-person essays written by hand or on locked down computers - similar to certification/professional testing. i further suspect this will only be offered at elite educational institutions due to cost constraints.
- jeroenhd 4y agoYou can also just take computer written documents out of the equation. Write the reports in pen and paper in the classroom. Although I certainly would've hated writing essays by hand back in the day, there's plenty of scientific evidence that says that handwritten text is better for learning things than typed text. The extra time and consideration it takes to write things out clearly helps memorize the information. I think we're either heading for a future where schools accept chatgpt like they more or less accepted copy pasting from Wikipedia like back on my days, teaching kids even less actual knowledge, or a future where homework disappears and is replaced by spending more time in a supervised classroom. Neither are things I'd like to see, and with the way society seems to treat teachers, I'm expecting the education system to give in and go the lazy route.
