Subject: Can't believe what I'm reading here.
Hi Everyone,
Although this op-ed relates to social studies, I'm flabbergasted and
can't disconnect our project work from what is written here. We have
been teaching, or trying to teach our pupils, not to just copy text
off the Internet but process it, write a summary and paraphrase. Of
course, quotes, with proper credit to the authors is allowed too. But
here, copy and paste and listing the source is being encouraged in
order to get 100%. True that's not plagiarism but where is the
creative thinking and thinking process here? Have I missed anything?

Or maybe this is "trick or treat" for Halloween. You copy and paste
and I give you a great grade?!
