My daughter told me that a boy in her 6th grade English 'borrowed' some poetry from the internet. He was caught by the teacher and the boy's probation officer is in on it now. The school wants to press charges.
Plagiarism is a crime. But the only gains he would have made were purely grades. I'd smack my kids around for that (not literally), but prosecuting?
I shiver to think all the times I initialed 'Here I Sit All Brokenhearted' on school stalls. They may find me yet.
