[quote=Anonymous]Part of the problem may arise from cultural differences in what is considered plagiarism. Some cultures encourage learning from those who are experts in a subject and then repeating what is learned from those experts. US schools prefer that students study and learn and then write about what they have learned in their own words. In literature particularly, US schools expect students to read and analyze works of literature using their own words and ideas and not simply repeating the words of experts. Is it possible the OP's son is from a culture that views repeating the words of experts as the goal of learning for young students and the OP's son thought he was doing what the teacher expected him to do?[/quote]
