Why is this any different? They allegedly took someone else ideas, hard work, and submitted it as their own for a panel of judges and was  awarded 1st place  while everyone came up with their own routines, and that’s not plagiarism? Surely plagiarism doesn’t stop at literature work. This applies to gymnastics as well, if a mcps student copy a gymnastics Olympic gold medal routine for a mcps competition they should be disqualified.[/quote]

Well I don't see the point in discussing "why". The point is, in sports, that is how things are. It would be unfair to single out MCPS students on that, right?
If you feel these should be considered plagiarism, the right way to do is to change rules about how people do it in sports, not how MCPS kids do it when they follow the current rules.[/quote]
In dance, if you copy someone else's choreography, you need to acknowledge and credit the choreographer. You can't just copy someone else's choreo and pretend it is your own.[/quote]
