[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WOW! This is taking a life of its own.
 OP here.
The school did not let us opt out of taking this literature course even though DS studied English language at a much lower level -- three to be specific. The teacher knew he was being tutored as the literature readings and the homeworks were too difficult for him.  His essays required him to cite the book and the page only. That was his accommodation in this class.. He could have memorized direct quotes from the book and cited the pages, had it been a requirement for the final.
By the way, I ran his other essays through Turnitin which showed more plagiarizm than this one. I then ran my own CV through the website and I found out that I had heavily plagiarized my own résumé. 
 I also found it to be quite strange that no one informed me about it for several hours past the incident, and responded only after I wrote to them.[/quote]

If you want to help your son, you better tone it down and stop making excuses. My DS got a fail for not citing correctly. Apparently they really want them to learn this. If they are offering a retake, then you might want to just say yes and adjust your travel plans accordingly. Bragging about your big vacation is not going to help.[/quote]
