Remote exam software companies try to have it both ways: telling schools that they automate detection of cheating while saying that teachers can and must review recordings and make their own decisions.

It is clear that those programs snoop on students and the interiors of their homes.

In many US cities, wealthier neighborhoods have lots of trees, but poor neighborhoods have few or none. So the latter become painfully, even dangerously hot. This is the result of lending practices decades ago, which will take effort and money to overcome.
