Probably Elon is behind it, more starlink users!! Joking aside, what’s the percentage of the students to think it’s justifiable to cut off the internet for ever

Joking aside, what’s the percentage of the students to think it’s justifiable to cut off the internet for everyone else? Business, other education like higher ones, emergency, other services!?
Are people this corrupt right now to the point that the government doesn’t trust any other policy will be applied evenly? Or are these just a decoy for other measures?
I think the problem is deeper though, in the education system itself, if your education system can’t properly measure your students performance and abilities, unless it’s done in an enclosed, no internet zone for few hours, probably measuring only the ability to memorize few information or equations rather than how to properly apply it, your education system is the problem, not the students. How come the US for example don’t cut off the internet because students at MIT are doing some exam?

It is the exam which determines your future in nations which rely on single exams for university admission. Imagine if the SAT determined nearly everything about your future and you had a single shot at it. Now, I still doubt the USA would block the internet over it, but I could easily imagine jammers being used around test centres.

How’s that even fair for the students or even accepted as a criteria to consider someone is eligible or not?! Say I want to go to engineering school, how’s memorizing anything for that exam will be slightly beneficial for my future?!
- MattGaiser 3y agoI am not arguing it is fair, but it is how their system works and that given the stakes, their actions are less absurd (not all the way to reasonable) than they appear.
