Is it cheating to pay someone to take the test for me? Isn't hiring specialized labor just another kind of tool? In the real world, I certainly have access to all sorts of specialists.

Yes, but the point of school is to train you to be able on these things. If you fail to see value in that, then why are you going to school in the first place?

This becomes the issue. If the school was there to teach you to reach an outcome, and the desired outcomes were difficult enough to achieve, then any (ethical) route you take should be deemed okay. For example, a school teaching you to build a particular device, run a research study, or build a business. If you hire for it, if you outsource, if you harness the power of AI, so long as you achieve the outcome, you've achieved the outcome.

Education is out of date for many areas of modern life. If it doesn't improve, it'll likely fall behind.

Brilliant. All the American kids can hire Chinese students to take tests for them because it will be a great lesson in how the real world operates junior!

So many utterly ridiculous comments in this thread.
