in the 1980s at super-competitive UC Berkeley, where non-native English speakers have high stakes outcomes, many organized groups passed pre-written material, essay answers, multiple-choice answers etc among each other in multi-year organized cheating. Then, with prestigious and difficult degree in hand, proceeded to financially succeed. At the same time, UC Berkeley is a great research university with specialists in hundreds of fields doing post-doc expansion of human knowledge - on a competitive basis.
Both of these true at the same time, integrated via finance. Fanciful ideas of pure education with its motives and methods are almost like fairy tales in this environment.
