Plagiarism
1. If I was convicted of plagiarism and didn't really plagiarize, I would mad and probably would switch schools, because that is just unfair to punish someone when in reality, they didn't do anything wrong. It shows a lack of fairness and injustice to kids who are just trying to make it by.
2.My parents would be disappointed that I had plagiarized but not surprised. Being a high school student, we are constantly overwhelmed with homework and stress; sometimes, we feel as though our heads will burst right open, so we do absolutely anything to get an assignment down quick, so we can relax.
3. Just because your parents pay tuition does not guarantee an A on a test. It is up to you to work hard and earn a college education and have a chance at scholarships. Money can't buy everything in this world, unlike what most people believe.
4. This story, to be honest, has little to no effect on me. Yes, it opens my eyes to the consequences of plagiarism, but by the way our world is, it doesn't surprise me at all. It just shows how messed up and lazy we are. Also, it shows how easily we give up on things. Just because a case like the one at Piper comes up does not mean that you should quit, or resign in this case, when the situation starts to get difficult. Where has our integrity and resilience gone?!
5. I take away from this narrative that plagiarism is bad, and people don't like it. There are major consequences to plagiarism even when we don't think anything about it. Also, this article makes me mad, not at the kids but at the parents and staff. They should not have started this uprising and given up on their jobs.
