It was bad enough with parents and tutors writing essays for kids, now we have this. And if you have read up on how US teachers have been doing/feeling over the past few years, giving us another obstacle to "adapt to" will just push even more people out of the field. I know history and English teachers that already have students do all of their written work at school to try to cut down on the cheating, which means less material can get covered in class time. It's not the end of the world, but it is another rung down on the ladder.

I taught high school English for 25 years - plagiarism is not something that came along with the internet. I used to have my students do all of their brainstorming outlining and planning in class and we still covered a full length novel, Shakespeare, poetry, short stories er al. This is another tool that educators will deal with regardless. It’s here and will only become more pervasive.
