If that wasn't the case teachers and administration could do their job as they should and that is to TEACH our children, instead of giving grades. That's the biggest cheat there is in education today.

I agree that academic rigor is suffering greatly beyond allowing students to cheat, and taxpayers and employers are getting cheated in many ways. Thanks for pointing this out. You may have missed an earlier post that discussed this in more detail:
