Out of how many in a country of hundreds of millions, exactly?

Many many moons ago, likely long before you were born, Apple had the computer education market cornered.

Hmm, I have repaired precisely four Macbooks over a span of about 30 years. All the repairs were successful and not difficult. Today, iFixit makes it very easy. So, I guess some BS commenters never actually repaired anything.

How can half-random-BS-generators allegedly solve maths problems? Or do these specific problems especially lend themselves to being solved with half-random BS?

You are so wrong. The country I live in now has it. It's not called the same, but it amounts to the same. Near impossible to sue the police here.

I'm pretty sure most countries have something similar on the books.

Cost of a plane ticket: $500

Cost of the reason you’re buying a plane ticket: $50,000

Somewhere buried in between the ratio of those two numbers, is your point.

So you think a jury would look at the huge bump in perfect scores and conclude there's no grounds for cheating accusations? LOL.

They announce this after firing LaChapelle?

A simplistic view. '"really" don't like' comes down to, in my experience:

- Rejection of change, Doesn't matter what the change is. Just move the Start Menu from left-justified to centered. That's juvenile.

- No more than rumors of enhanced telemetry becoming a serious privacy concern. Rumors are enough. Add in captures of new data and the screamers will blow it up into disproportionate danger. Ignoring their browser, every web site that clandestinely keeps logs that describe your activities, etc. That's a little juvenile also.

- Any launch bugs or flaws. Claimed as proof of rushed release, danger, and well just keep going on.

- Any security concerns, any. As if not merely Widows, but Linux, BSD, even Apple software suffers a security flaw at leas occasionally, some undiscovered for a decade or more.

- And other juvenile complaints and reactions.

Occasionally, Microsoft has hit a release out of the park. W4W 3.11, NT4.0, Windows 8. Mostly because these were preceded by less than excellent releases, though some were leaps ahead that could not be compared to predecessors. Windows 11 is working. Get over it. Or hide behind some excuse and cling to Windows 10 like an infant to their mommy's leg. Linux isn't winning Windows 10 clingers, nor Windows 11 runaways. And if you're paying attention, it's not even winning security and privacy wonks, since they know it takes some effort to secure Linux and hold on to even the illusion of privacy on the modern Internet.

At least, in terms of our terrible American public education system. This is not the solution, and it's pathetic that the schools think this is worth the money and will solve our childhood education crisis - yes, it is a crisis.

Oddly, 80%+ of corporate users somehow manage to get work done in the windows environment day in and day out...

The most frequent comment I hear from non-technical users is "it's $150 and it comes with Win 11!, not I wonder if Linux will run on it?

Charities across the US hold backpack drives each year, to provide supplies to students who can't afford them. Teachers very commonly also buy supplies out of their own pockets.

Median pay for teachers is $65K per year

Maybe we should put more money into the basics, instead of fancy computers (of any brand).

You have a very naive view of human nature!

There is a reason every single school for decades, has given tests with a teacher or proctor present. They knew that when no one is watching, children (and all humans) are inclined to cheat. AI apparently made us all forget this basic principle.

Hook'em while they're young!

on this exam, get an attorney (fast) and go after the school. 58,000 cheaters isn't something believable.
