With courtesy and respect.... poppycock.

I'm dealing with another plagiarism issue with a student, plus still being totally backlogged and overwhelmed and...sigh

I was going to go with Balderdash, but I like the One two Punch of Piffle and Poppycock

Uhg

plagiarism is FRUSTRATING

especially if they lie when caught

Yeah.

It gets complicated.

((hugs BrekkeP)) So sorry. And collateral hugs for Cat.

"Plagiarism is an Academic crime, punishable by Academic Death"

I LIKE IT, D!

A quote from the movie "Man of the House" by Tommy Lee Jones

I had one kid removed from the class for plagiarizing on three separate essays. Mom said I should have taught her better how not to plagiarize. Kid

is in a college level class.

Maybe the mom should have taught the ethics morality thing? Just.. seems a parent thing there

So now I've got another student who plagiarized less on one paper, and I've checked her other papers and can't find plagiarism in those. I'm going to give her a zero on the one paper, but not kick her out...but SOMEBODY is going to try to draw a comparison, I just know it.

Somebody's going to make it a race issue.

I don't want to be a teacher anymore. I don't do it good enough.

Hugs I would disagree .

DISAGREE.

sigh Sorry, just...grumpy.

Nine more years before I can retire.

You're doing it just FINE. THEY are not doing Studenting gooder!

You can get there, BrekkeP.

Uhg.

I'll be able to do more RP later tonight, I think, but not right now. Sorry.

No worries on my end. We will be unwrapping presents tonight so I may not be on but I bet the others will be happy to steal you if I can't 🙂

Oh, actually, that's good. If you don't mind waiting on Brekke/Kyle & Sylvi/Colton until tomorrow....?

I"m going to check D's end to see if there are no worries.

If I survive past 8 I'll be on/around.

Worries are like burrs. They attach especially well to ends.

You're not wrong, B.

I don't mind at all. I mgiht still be on between gifts. I might not but if I am on tonight and you want to postpone we do 🙂

Some guys have junk in their trunk, I have a landfill

Hugs You all rock.
