Why are there so many solution manuals being advertised and asked for?

I know that it's the beginning of the fall semester, but it wasn't
this bad this time last year, or any other previous year.

Did something happen, like a message in the newsgroup
alt.how.to.cheat.at.math, which said that you could ask for them?

I beleive these are all from the same person - that has started a
business selling them.

This person is obvious scum!

They don't realize the damage they cause students, publishers, and
authors.

Students who buy these are doing a huge dis-service to themselves as
they are missing the entire point of taking classes.

When did it become more about the GPA and grades than actually
learning and struggling in order to develop your thought processes and
problem solving ailities?

Oh well - students will always look for the path of least resistance -
even if that is at the cost of their own learning.

Schools also don't seem to mind this because they are a business too
and don't want students to flunk out.

Sorry for the diatribe.
