[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]college English teacher here.  I would give your son a 0 for an essay or exam answer with ideas AND?or inadequate paraphrases that come from spark notes or whatever.  Next time he fails the class.  Next time he is suspended from school.

And I won't talk to you about it.

Please let your son make Cs based on his own ideas/writing/work.  Sounds like he is a C student while his language skills catch up.  His attempt to be an A student is preventing him from learning and will get him kicked out of school.[/quote]

Why are you so angry? Maybe you are not a college as you are claiming but teacher in question. And why are you mentioning spark notes?[/quote]

No one here is angry except you, OP. We're trying to explain to you that your son is cheating and you are doing him no favors by condoning it, making excuses for him, blaming everyone but him, and now lashing out at people who are telling you the truth you don't want to hear. Your son has done something wrong, and not for the first time. You are encouraging it by not holding him responsible and repeatedly claiming on here that what he did isn't really cheating. You AND he are going to get him kicked out of school if you don't listen to the good advice on here. 
 
PP probably mentioned Spark Notes because they are one of the biggest names in study guides, which you yourself said you discovered as a source when running your son's papers through Turnitin. This isn't a conspiracy. We're trying to explain to you how it works so your boy learns before it's too late for him, but you can't take it. I feel bad for your kid; you are teaching him the wrong lessons.[/quote]
