text: The last reason for why education through the internet is not helpful is because it causes students to be more prone to cheat. Over the summer, I took Economics and Finance online where on a test I did not know any of the answers so I simply opened a new tab on my computer, searched up all the answers, and aced the test by flying colors. The simplicity and efficiency of this strategy inclined me to do it for the rest of the tests and quizzes in the course. The same method will be used for the students taking tests and quizzes through online classes because it is so simple and quick and there is nobody to hold them accountable. In actual school, this will not happen due to the tests and quizzes being physical copies and the teachers being on constant alert. This is further shown in this example, Generic_Name, a high school student, is taking an AP course through the internet. It is a difficult course, yet her easy access to the internet allows her to search up the answers for every test and quiz. She ends up finishing the course with a very high grade in the class due to her high test scores. But when she has to take the AP exam in person, she fails the exam by a wide margin due to her lack of knowledge on the subject. The cheating that will occur through these classes at home will lead to these students actually not learning any of the information that is taught through these video conferences. If the students are not learning due to the cheating, it makes the online classes useless for the students and the teachers. The amount of cheating that comes along with online school is the final reason why it is not beneficial to the students.
