Do AI detectors work? Students face false cheating accusations

Seems like the easy fix here is move all evaluation in-class. Are schools really that reliant on internet/computer based assignments? Actually, this could be a great opportunity to dial back unnecessary and wasteful edu-tech creep.

Yep. The solutions which actually benefit education are never expensive, but require higher quality teachers with less centralized control:

- placing less emphasis on numerical grades to disincentive cheating (hard to measure success) - open response written questions (harder to teach, harder to grade) - reading books (hard to determine if students actually did it) - proof based math (hard to teach)

Instead we keep imagining more absurd surveillance systems “what if we can track student eyes to make sure they actually read the paragraph”
