just gonna throw this out there...maybe not every kid needs to be good at writing essays. used to work with a really good machinist...prose was not his strong suit. his strong suit was things that were useful.
That's true, but it's also deceptive how a kid will get a score they don't deserve. If you can't write a good essay fine, but many of these cheaters are going into job paths where writing long texts that are cohesive and well presented are extremely important.
You presented an argument which is that pathways or careers which don't need good skills related to those in essay writing should have standards accordingly and not judge too harshly based on an English grade. Not that these kids are justified in cheating their scores and deceiving everyone with an unwarranted 94%.
