"Students will only pretend to study during remote learning and will cheat during exams and quizzes".
As opposed to... Students doing that in class?
One time in my history class in 4th grade I filled the entire quiz for my friend without anybody noticing. The other time I have slipped my paper to him and he wrote two similar tangents and the teacher have not noticed.
Throughout last year of middle school I was so spiteful towards my history teacher that I was blatantly cheating every single time he surprised us with a lil quiz or whatever and he never noticed.
In high school chemistry classes, during almost every single bigger test, my entire class was ripping off my answers (which I have abused twice) and teacher either ignored it or was oblivious to it.
What gives you the idea that student is actually listening to anything that you're saying? Yeah he is physically in class. His corporal body is right there. You can poke him if you'd like? But is he there mentally? Tough question. My hazardous guess is 'it depends'. If your class is interesting, you're interesting or he has some interest in the subject, then yeah maybe a bit. Otherwise that kiddo is backflipping on Jupiter and there is not a single shit you can do to change that.
Listen, I was never as attentive and focused as the times I was doing remote studying. For one I can do flips, draw whatever the fuck I want, or jack off in the middle of it all and nobody fucking knows. As a kiddo who needs my attention stimulated, that's pretty fucking rad. I don't have to feel weird or awkwads and professors don't have to smite me with their gaze for scribbling or doodling on paper. If I'm bouncing my leg or clicking my pen, nobody knows and I'm not bothering anyone. And if your lecture is boring I can dip and nobody has their feelings hurt. It's only win win. And most importantly, I can multitask. I put you on full volume and do the dishes. I put you on full blast and I do some light exercises or streches. I can have my lecture in the comfiness of my bed. I can listen to you talking mad shit about greek religion and have a laugh with my classmates and also do assignments for other class.
And again if students want to cheat there is not a single thing you can do to stop them. I'm personally convinced that a lot of my classmates cheated on a lot of our greek tests because they were that difficult. But like, does it matter? My group went from 15 people to 7 and then to 3 and then to 2 in a spawn of 6 semesters. Ya think this 7 or 8 or whatever people care about that one time they cheated to drop out anyway? I don't think so.
And besides there are few reasons why they might have cheated or needed to cheat. And then whether it's remote or stationery changes nothing.
Universities scared to admit studnets had it better during lockdown because it makes their entire buildings obsolete.
Anyway; bear gay sex and garlic bread.
