this sounds to me like some version of synesthesia or chromesthesia?

I'd wager she -has- thought it through, though. The opportunity to cheat doesn't mean one will utilize it, and the comparison to other means of obtaining information, as well as the misconceptions about what examinations are for, and the undercurrent concerning their misuse in education really resonated with me, as a teacher. In fact, the subtext here is incredibly relevant to -many- of my friends in the education profession, and, fantastic trappings aside, this story really makes a point worth making in a very relevant way.

I don't see how the mom can't see that telepathy is a problem when later grades teach harder stuff that the kid might not understand on her own and just get the answer from the smartest kid in the class' mind. She obviously hasn't thought it through...
