I was a student when the internet started to spread and some students had internet at home, while most teachers were still oblivious. There was a french book report due and 4 kids had picked the same book because they had found a good summary online. 3 of the kids hand wrote a summary of the summary, 1 kid printed out the original summary and handed that in. 3 kids received a 0, the 4th got a warning to not let others copy his work :D

Lol, well sounds like a bad assignment if you can get away with just summary, although I guess it is language class(?) it’s more reasonable. I’m not really shooken up over this type of thing, though. I’m not pro-cheating, but it’s not for justice or morality; it’s cause education is for the students benefit and they’re missing out on growth. We really need more critical thinkers in this world. Like, desperately need them. Lol

Yep, french language class in a too large highschool class. If the class had been smaller, then the teacher would have definitely gone for more presentations by the students.
Keep up the good fight, I’m certain that many of your students appreciate what they learn from you.
