Everyone values grades over learning- school systems, yes, but parents, colleges, even government funding is tied to grades. So kids have been pressured into also caring about grades over learning.
Students have very little choice over their learning. Adults decide what classes kids need and when to take them, micromanaging virtually every aspect of their schooling, then get mad because students take no ownership. Yeah because they HAVE no ownership.
The whole system needs redesigned from the ground up with STUDENTS in mind. What’s best for them? What do they need and want before they become an adult? Kids show their strengths early on, and if we let them focus more time on what they love in a way that promotes learning and accepts the ups and downs that come with growth, there would be far less cheating.
When Students cheat on Exams — using AI or by any other means — they do so because School Systems value Grades more than Students value Learning.
