RTE's Ryan Tubridy was amazed this morning as he talked about the story of a "genius" who tricked his teacher.
The student had a brilliant trick so the teacher wouldn't ask him any questions while taking part in online Zoom classes.
Reading out a tweet from Chris Arnold, the radio host said: "My wife is a teacher and apparently one kid has been changing his name to 'Reconnecting' during the Zoom lessons so that he doesn't get asked any questions.
"Been doing it for weeks. The lad doesn't need to worry about his education, he's already a bona fide genius."
And Tubs said: "Isn't that kind of brilliant...and awful and wrong. He's been doing it for weeks as Chris said.
"It's people like that who probably doesn't need to do a Leaving Cert and just make 12 billion quid by coming up with some business idea and just have it.
"They have it, whatever it is."
Another Twitter user added to Chris' story with: "My son said some of his friends had set a looped moving image of themselves staring at the computer screen as their profile pic.
"Also lots of kids having private chatrooms to cheat on tests or in case someone gets called on in a lesson and wasn't paying attention."
