Peter Zajiczek, who teaches math at Western Canada High School, says the pandemic has completely upended the way students learn.
Zajiczek says most teachers agree that learning online isn't as effective as in-person learning and, even for students who are learning in the classroom, many are dealing with anxieties about getting sick and being isolated. But many students are still being graded on knowledge that they may be missing because of pandemic-induced gaps in learning, prompting some to turn to cheating.
Many teachers have been modifying their assessments to not only combat cheating, but also to make sure that students are understanding the material. In Zajiczek's math class for example, it's not enough for students to write down the correct answer to a problem.
Is the pandemic pushing many people to cheat? Teachers pretend to teach online as they did in person, with full pay, other public and private employees pretend to work and get full pay plus some pandemic bonus. Mandatory screen time for poor kids, question doesn't make sense.
You’d have to be an idiot to think they wouldn’t. I know they never will but they should really keep everyone in the grade they are in . Learning is at a minimum I see it with my kids , so I can’t imagine where the students who are less engaged in school are
So ONE (1) teacher says yes and that's a story?
I would totally cheat
