Is this true.

Can you actually go to jail for ******* copy and pasting work and giving it in for a school essay.
Dumazz teacher sent me this ****

I cannot accept this letter. A significant portion of it was plagiarized from a website for children's book reviews.
Please understand that it is not only ethically wrong to submit someone else's work as your own, it is also illegal. You till be receiving a zero for the assignment, and if it happens again, I will have to report you to the AP of English and the principal.

si

 

yes(rarely tho), but most of all you'll get kicked out and it will ruin you.

 

@Elliptic

I know the academic system is complete utter horse-**** at times but for the love of god...
Why in the hell would you think that its perfectly fine to slap other peoples work on your essay and call it yours.

I'm kind of interested in what kind of essay it was suppose to be about,Hell you could have put up an RC/Carat reward and someone would have done the damned essay.


I declare some peoples children...

 

Yea you can , also catch a fine

 

lmfaooooo

 

LMAOOO NICK STOPPPPPP. Fr if you need help next time hmu.

 

i need help

 

Wait are you legitametly being serious or is this bait because if its former
holy **** you need to actually sign up for an autism screening why do you think copyright exists in the first place????

 

YES ALL THE TIME. Ghetto/Urban kids are especially notorious for it. It gets to the point where you would literally want to beat skulls in with a baseball bat.

Sources: Tutored people who were failing in English.

 

??? Bruh you think teachers/professors dont check?

 

A lot of teachers & professors are using SafeAssign now since plenty of schools have adopted the program. I don't think I've ever had more than two professors check for plagiarism in my life. There really isn't a reason to plagiarize since you can literally just cite the source and add it to your paper as long as it isn't anything too extreme like copying + pasting an entire essay along with the link, for example.

 

Is it that hard to put it in your own words?
. . .

 

For some yes. I used to help people with their papers and it's amazing how they managed to graduate high school.

 

But what OP probably did was straight out copy/paste something from an article. Which makes it easy to get busted

 

Ok you should be telling OP and not me LMao

 

Going to jail is a little extreme. The worst that could happen is being sued by the owner.

Or a pay a fine, that could be a likely thing to happen too.


But honestly, you'll probably just get a zero, and be done with it. It's not like you're making money out of this right?

 

its so easy to avoid plagiarism
-cite
- don't copy and paste
- put it in your own words
