You assume that the teachers job is to catch when someone is cheating; its not. The teachers job is to teach, and if the kids don't learn because their parents allow them to cheat, don't check them at all, and let them behave like shitheads, then the kids will fail in life.

> then the kids will fail in life.

Quite the assertion. If anything the evidence is in favor of the other direction.

It was eye opening to see that most students cheat. By the same token, most students end up successful. It’s why everyone wants their kids to go to college.

In many current-day school systems, the teachers job is to get the required percentage of students to pass the state assessment for their grade level.

They don’t get an exemption if the parents don’t care.

This isn't the way reality works.

Or, bad money chases out good. Idiots that cheat will get the recommendations for jobs where by maxing the grade. The person that actually works gets set back. Even worse society at large loses and actually educated person. And lastly a school is going to attempt to protect their name by preventing cheating.
