The cheating is incredible. I copy and paste a student's answer into Google and have an exact match in seconds on a free site. Paid sites have even more answers. This happens on assignments as well as tests.

As for K-12... It's a Milliken scam. Too many kids don't graduate and teachers can have hundreds of students. But hey, it's a money maker for the corporation.
