[el_don_almighty]

"Don't move the ancient barriers" is an old proverb that cautions us towards careful consideration before we thoughtless tear down the walls around us before considering their core purpose. What has changed in the heart of humans that no longer necessitates these controls? Why do we discourage cheating? Why do attempt violence prevention within our schools? Why do we train personal responsibility as a guiding force of character?

Fair enough, if you have more effective methods of achieving these goals, then describe how they better meet the need and let us evaluate them on their merits and try them.

But let's not tear down what we don't understand

I'm pretty sure that neither "ed-tech that tracks our students’ every move" nor "plagiarism detection software" can be described as an ancient barrier.

I'm not sure many of the rest of the list can be either, to be honest.
