Is it unfair to describe this as cheating?

I see your point, but we have a policy that an assignment can be edited and resubmitted up multiple times until the teacher grades it. After the teacher grades it, edits are not allowed. The student changed the answers a long time after the assignment was graded.

Edits ARE allowed.

Proof: YOUR SYSTEM offered the chance to submit edits, and then your SYSTEM accepted his proposed edits, as it was explicitly programmed to do.

Is this kid your paid IT Staff? No.

Did he hack the system? No.

The kid knew he wasn't supposed to change the answer after it was graded. Just because he thought he could get away with it doesn't mean it's ok to do it.

Submitting a retake is not "changing an answer".

This threat is full of tech illiterates.

No this thread is lacking way too much information and people are guessing. It doesn’t appear that he “submitted a retake”.

It it would be cheating on paper, it’s cheating when it’s digital.

My former school had an “academic dishonesty” policy rather than a “cheating” policy because parents got so insane parsing the word “cheating.”

Excellent point!
