[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lawyer again.  This just isn’t plagiarism in the usual sense.  No lawyer or HR rep would cite a source when writing a policy.  It isn’t done anymore than it’s done in form contracts.  It’s pointless and counter-productive to come up with your own language for an HR policy.   It’s not like a speech or research paper where originality is part of the assignment.  This is just a weird and meaningless place to apply plagiarism standards.
It may however be a violation of the expectation for the assignment, if part of the goal is to ensure the student is using reputable sources for model policies, rather than a crazy random person’s blog.  That I think would be reasonable for a student assignment.  But it’s not a plagiarism issue.  [/quote]

This whole assignment doesn't make sense, because what educational value is there in having a high school senior writing an employee handbook solely for the purpose of generating a legally adequate HR handbook?  My guess is that the point of this assignment wasn't to find a bunch of sample text from SHRM or something, it was to think about the kinds of policies you might want/need for a particular type of business, what the pros and cons are of different types of policies on particular issues, and come up with more of a plan for an HR handbook based on students' learning about why business adopt different types of policies.  If OP's kid came across as doing the former rather than the latter, that may be part of why his explanations/excuses are making things worse rather than better.[/quote]
