1) I do not have any interaction whatsoever with the students. I'm not a TA, just a grader. I pick up the HWs from the prof's office, grade them and return them. Even if I wanted to contact one of the student's I wouldn't know who they are.

Their homework like doesnt have a name on it and you dont have like a student directory or something to find his email address?

2) I'm nearly 100% sure the professor will do nothing more than give a firm lecture to the entire class on the matter, or confront the student one on one to "scare them straight". If I thought he would try to get them kicked out of school I wouldn't even think of telling him.

Tell the prof without mentioning names and like refuse to answer names if he asks and is super pissed. Although, not sure about your own policies and such, but I am pretty sure that the worst that would ever come from cheating off homework is going to be a 0 on that homework assignment.

i had a solution manual for my calc 2 class and I copied it directly EVERY TIME... and I did benefit from this as about 25% of my grade was homework, and I guess it did help me understand the material a little bit. id basically let it slide, bc its not gonna affect you negatively

if you're just a grader then who cares, it will catch up to them or it won't. no sweat off your sack.

Its not worth it to be responsible for getting someone kicked out of school and ruining a large part of their life over a homework assignment.

This is very far from true in many cases.

this is why HW should be ungraded and everything should be based on tests.
