[quote=Anonymous]I’m a teacher and this sounds preposterous.  Did he actually plagiarize or not?  Did he actually write his own policies?  If it is actually his own work and was flagged by a plagiarism app as plagiarism because of commonly used jargon, YOU need to actually go to bat for him. And absolutely you must make the principal aware that she has threatened to retaliate against him for standing up for himself.  IF it is not plagiarism,

But saying it is not *deliberate* plagiarism undercuts his argument.  Saying he accepts his grade undercuts his argument.  Negotiating for some new grade next quarter undercuts his argument.  Mentioning how he has “supported her” make him sound like some kind of entitled prick who thinks because he has been in her “advisory biard@ that she should let him slide for copy/pasting.

Everything but the original plagiarism that may actually not be plagiarism makes your child sound like a weasel.  If you believe he is being honest here, you need to step in openly and defend him and advocate for him.  He has totally screwed this up with all this weaseling around.
