Crossroads School: Note of Weary Rage

May 23, 2007 12:19

Having only five hours of sleep and dealing with naughty kids all morning is definitely not the best frame of mind within which to find out I may not be paid this week.

Also, Little Plagiarist-Pants #2 came in today and dropped off her punishment plagiarism assignment. It was two days late, so it's obviously not acceptable. However, let me note two other reasons that it is obviously NOT ACCEPTABLE:

1. It was only two pages and lacked a bibliography. (Please recall the punishment paper was to be eight pages in length and include a bibliography.)

2. It's copy-pasted from various Internet sites so badly that she actually has the following sentence in the middle of the paper:

"If you have any suggestions on how we can improve our website or its content, please send us an e-mail."*

*Or something to that effect: I can't quite recall the specific line and I'm too tired to walk out to my car and get it out of my bag.
