Unfortunately, this kind of story will continue to be a popular one in newspapers and magazines, garnering lots of clicks. It feeds into the "everything is different now" sort of desperate helplessness people seem primed to adopt with respect to AI sometimes.

Obviously the answer to testing and grading is to do it in the classroom. If a computer is required, it can't connect to the internet.

Caught with a cellphone, you fail the test. Caught twice you fail the class.

The non-story beatings will continue until morale and common sense improve.

One of my coworker's has their kids in a school where if you are caught with a cellphone, on the first offense you are suspended. Apparently it's working well.

It's all fun and games until it's a public school that implements the mandatory schooling law and so can't really kick out students unless they murder someone.

That's why states are implementing no-cell-phone laws. To give the educators cover for harsh consequences. They are basically making using a cell phone in school the same as assaulting someone, so that they can remove the student for repeat offenses.
