My mom just caught one of her kids using these to cheat on a final. He had them Bluetoothed to his laptop and it disconnected at some point and she heard "the answer to number 7 is...." But she said he barely got a C on it even while cheating. So since she didn't know about the glasses until after that student left and another student told her it was the glasses, she just kinda let it go saying "it's honestly going to be his problem in the future."
Edit: she couldn't pin point the kid at the moment, and wasn't informed who it was until after the kid was gone and the other student told her.
I'm not a teacher, but I dunno if that's the right response to someone cheating. It is going to be his problem in the future, but as a teacher, isn't it her job to teach the kid that that's not OK? Sorta depends on the age, I suppose, but I'd definitely give the kid a 0% instead of a C.
Morality and such isn't really a teacher's job.
Besides that, "between no kid left behind" and government testing standards that are tied into funding, teaching a turned into a generic lump of shit, and everyone gets to pass.
It isn't really an issue of morality imo, it's a teacher's job to give grades that reflect the student's skill level.
Excuse me, with how shitty parents are, someone has to step up, or we are all screwed.
Let's put aside who's job is what, these kids are going to be building our future too.
The parents will raise hell and admin will pressure you to look the other way since the last thing they want is their stats looking bad. There's a reason teachers are quitting in droves. You couldn't pay me enough to be one.
I mean, they really won't, since the old people are the ones who always vote. I'll be dead by the time any of today's school kids are in charge of anything and the teacher lesson plans, or no kids left behind aren't going away any time soon. if you can't teach your own children a sense of morality, you don't even deserve to have a say in this discussion.
