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.

Are you suggesting kids spend longer times in school or suggesting kids spend less time on education?

Chicago Public Schools has 176 days of school in the school year.

That's 88 days per semester.

Take 8 of those and use them to assess student progress and determine grades in class. That leaves 90% of the school year for learning in class.
